Powerful. Dark color. Ripe fruit. Herbs. A great short rib softened his power and excess alcohol. Low structure. Unlikely improve with additional aging.
Awesome. Very different from a usual Argentine wine. Evolved. Singular. Reminds me of a burgundy. Classy. Sophisticated. However, lack acidity that makes it a little tiring.
