Online Blind Tasting #11: *** Note is based on 2x0,1l bottles filled about 2 days before the tasting from 0,75l bottle *** Glass: Riedel Vinum Syrah / Zalto Universal Clear, deep purple-ruby color, almost inky. Clean, medium intense, youthful-developing nose. Spicy, black pepper, fine toasting notes, plum and other dark fruit, fine herbs, tobacco and some smoked meat. Very deep and dense and not with the lactic notes that Argentinian Malbec usually has. Dry, medium+ acidity, high, fine and round tannin that gives the wine a good grip and texture. On the palate spicy, lots of dark fruit (plum), toasting notes and just delicate lactic notes. Very good balance, deep and dense, good grip and tension. Long, peppery and fine fruity finish. Rather cool, never to bold. Probably not yet at its full peak and with a good upscale potential. 93

Occasional tasting group (By TBa @ WN Top South America plus some extra's.): In the bouquet dark forest fruits and herbs and spices. On the palate the same impressions. Beautiful acidity, round tannin with a good bite and pleasant bitterness in the finish. A really beautiful wine. Still quite youthful. 92+
