Not really what I had expected. Bottle was not flawed or dull, but neither the nose nor the palate was worth remembering it. Nice deep Color tough. Drunk over 4 days but it neither evolves nor vanishes. A good tempranillo blend, but nothing really exciting...

This is an interesting Tempranillo/Malbec/Merlot blend from Argentina which still offers lots of fruit and spices. It is trying to combine old world tempranillo spices and fresh acidity with the sweetness of sun-burned Mendoza Malbec, but to be honest it doesnt't really work very well for my palate. Sweet and sour, spicy and soft and with a lot of alcohol on the nose. There is just too many things that don't go well together here. But you can tell that high quality grapes and very fine oak were used for this wine - its just the blending that went slightly wrong. Drink soon. - 87 points

- Garnet color with medium forming legs - The cork left the Wine out. Because of that, or because of the age, the Wine was "empty", "flat", dead indeed. Only the alcohool was there.
