Big oak nose on this clay-forward Uco blend of malbec, merlot, syrah and cab sauv. Herbs, minerals and fresh leather annunciate the aromatics of dark fruit in the olfactory. The mouth is unapologetically dry and dusty, with blackberry, fig, cassis, tar, vanilla, tobacco leaf and licorice foretelling an arid finish. Bold and clean without being too eager on the tannins, it's not the most exciting red blend in the region but it might be a worthwhile buy if it's on sale.

Aromas of cassis, cream, dried herbs, blackberry, violet, and iron. Flavors of ripe black fruits, raspberry, chocolate, and iron. Medium acidity with medium minus dry tannins. This took about an hour to open up fully.

It was okay but not as good as previous versions. Generally kind of boring.
