  Decanted for 30 minutes. Youthful dark purple in glass. Nose of boysenberry, leather and graphite, with a juicy palate of red berries, licorice and black pepper. Well balanced with a pleasing finish. Probably not going to get much better with age. Nice QPR.

  A source of much comedy is incongruity. The placing of a particular item in the wrong place or the wrong item in a particular place is the setup to provide laughs. As recently as forty years ago the idea that Argentina could produce good wine would have been laughable. For those of us old enough, we can imagine a Monty Python skit on the subject. Fortunately wine bigotry related to geography has largely faded as the quality of wine worldwide has improved. Many recent wine drinkers take this change for granted, but I still frequently marvel at the abundance of quality wines from all parts of the globe.
  
  Deep purple garnet color. Brambly fruit and leather nose. Nice mouth feel and good balance between fruit and tannins. Full bodied with dark fruits in the taste. Full finish. Nothing overdone, nothing disjointed. An excellent example of an honest wine for the dinner table.
