  20 minute decant. Excellent overall. Medium rich red and dark fruit with nice acidity. Good structure and balance give a sense of refinement. This was better after a night in the fridge so I can see it getting better with some bottle age.

  This has an inviting and beguiling nose of (?) bell pepper, wood spice, leather, red fruit, and some other atypical herbs and spices. It is relatively light in the mouth (for a cab) with high acid and concentrated fruit flavour. The tannins are relatively light too (for cab), but enough for a satisfying finish. This is a good reminder to seek out more cabs from Argentina.

  Raised entirely in cement egg with natural yeasts. Fresh, aromatic nose has herbaceous, paprika, olive, and minty notes with some cassis, red and black fruits and some minerals. It is full bodied on the complex palate with peppery, spice, paprika, olive, cassis, currant, herbal, and plum flavours with some earthiness supported by fresh acidity. Smooth, refined tannins have some grip on the back palate, while the long finish is earthy and stony with olive notes. Score: 90+ pts
