November 29, 2012 - Opaque purple/blue colour. Big nose of sweet crushed black and berry fruit jam, much like frutti di bosco, black licorice, spice, figs, and vanillan. Full-bodied, lush, with a fantastic texture like what liquid cashmere would hypothetically be like. Great balance, with replays from nose through to the long, 45-50s finish. This is a gorgeous wine and I might be underrating it at 93 points, as it's really impressive. Only listed as 13.8% alcohol, but to me it seems a little bit higher - something around 14.5%. This is a wine made for the domestic market in Argentina, and is not exported. Drink now-2016+.
