Just barely a 90-pointer. I find many Argentine cabs to be rather heavy-handed, and this is one of those. This is very good, but it lacks the finesse, complexity and elegance of a top cab. A bit tiring, and reminiscent of a concentrated malbec. That said, it has strong notes of blackberry and briar, with a distinct sweetness. Note: bottles of this wine have been inconsistent.

At a holiday luncheon, we pnp'd. fruit on nose, berries and cranberry dominate the palate with a touch of Christmas cake. The finish is of moderate length. Overall a good QPR

Bright red berry nose; Cranberry like fruit with earthy notes up front; Some dusty tannins and good acidity on the finish. Lighter, with more red fruit character than typical new world cabernet.

Small tasting sample. Pleasantly surprised at the QPR of this for less than $16. Plenty of big, black, juicy fruit with a huge mouthful of tannins. Give this another 1-2 years and it'll be singing.

This bottle didn't stand the test of time as I thought it would. Flat and a bit tart and pruny.
