  Giving this a go. I believe I smelled a bit of the black pepper note the bottle/others pointed out. I believe I get the cassis note too, if I'm correctly understanding what cassis is. I like this wine. A little bit of blackberry?

  Proveniente de viñedos de Maipú, al este de Mendoza.
  
  Crianza de 8 meses de barricas de roble francés del 50% del vino.
  
  Aromas a fruta madura y algunas notas especiadas. En boca tiene cuerpo medio y taninos sedosos.
  
  Está muy bien para tomar ahora aunque también se puede guardar un par de años más sin problemas.
  
  Me gustó! 👏

  Darn, kinda smells like it all - rasination and yet also some cranberry fruit. Holds together well on the nose. And on the palate as well.

  Now for some reason this is smelling super interesting to me. Touch of cranberry to it, But still with some plump fruit in the mid palate it. Oddly enough, to me, today, its striking at $17.

  Some black cherry and minerality on the nose. Brian notes fresh blueberry and spice, not compote. And then a good clip on the back of the palate.
