Blend de Cabernet Sauvignon (60), Malbec (25) y Cabernet Franc (15) criado por 20 meses en barricas de roble francés.
Nariz súper compleja, con notas a cuero, tabaco, mermelada de higo, notas herbáceas, pimienta negra y pirazinas . Es tan complejo que creo que si uno tira un descriptor de vinos tintos es muy probable que aparezca acá. En boca tiene taninos dulces, conserva buena acidez y tiene final largo. Una bomba! 💣

Eclectic wine tasting (at my home): dark translucent red-purple dominant ripe mature dark red & black fruits nose and quality green-pepper and light spicy notes medium-full bodied, young fruity flavours, soft firm tannins, tart, oak-vanilla, the Malbec & CF influence is well observed, good balance & harmony, rustic character, fare structure, simple complexity, enjoyable lively finish.

2011 Vintage. Nice bouquet of dark fruit upon swirling the wine in the glass. The nose anticipated an unabashed fruit forward wine. A bunch of flavors on the initial plalate comprising of cherry, then plum, followed by toast. The acidity causes salivation, which softens the flavor to change to blueberry, followed by a lingering cigar taste after completing the taste. A seriously long finish was held together by the acidity and nice tannins. Initial palate is not as refined as a $100 plus wine, but very pleasant with good lingering acidity and smokeyness. I am not a smoker, but I do like the middle to late flavors. I loved the order of the interesting layers of flavors. Your experience may be more peppery if you salivate less. At $25, an awesome buy. May even be better after decanting or after 1 year more in the cellar, but don't wait too long. Enjoy it. Would go well with a charred medium/medium rare NY Strip followed by a cigar or a smokey single malt scotch. For dessert, a rice pudding with cinnamon with a touch of nutmeg would be awesome. The fat in the rice pudding would hold the flavors of the wine longer and complement each other like a romantic couple.
