  December 26, 2015 - Great reprieve from the big Napa Cabs. 1-hour decant. This wine has a ruby color, cassis and mineral nose. Everything is done with balance and moderation. Faint vanilla complements the velvety tannins and cassis notes. The finish is super long and aromatic. Nice example of the excellent Angelica Zapata line.

  March 6, 2013 - Restaurantkøb i Buenos Aires. Farven er mørkrød og dyb. Duften er ikke så markant men der er toner af mørke bær og lidt vanille. Smagen er tør, rank og der er en markant syre og tannin i eftersmagen. Det er en balanceret vin som dog stadig virker ung. Efter lidt tid i glasset bliver smagen mere rund og blød. Serveret ved perfekt temperatur. Bør iltes på nuværende tidspunkt eller gemmes. Drukket til en bøf med side dishes. Bedst til mad grundet den markante syre og tannin.

  March 16, 2012 - Cassis , violets and plums.
  Some Minerality too. (matches, gun powder)
  Present but elegant tannins. Adding some caramel notes on the finish.
  A very elegant Cabernet. Definitely far from a big napa cab.
