December 10, 2023 - Decanted for 2 hours. Very tight and focused. Deep plum and tobacco notes with very soft tannins
September 24, 2023 - dark, deep purple with ruby rim and substantial body. nose of cassis, plum and tertiary notes of earth, leather, mushrooms and spice. almost shy on the entry, red and black fruit emerge slowly and dissolve into an earthy minerality, spice accents, and grippy but polished tannins. moderate length.
by the second day most of the fruit has faded; clearly nearing the end of its plateau. (one-hour decant, some sediment in bottle).
14.5% AbV; equal parts Malbec and CS
June 11, 2022 - Sadly, the bottle was flawed. Have reliably drank quite a few Caro’s. This one, sadly, was off and was not drank at a group dinner
March 22, 2020 - Purchased this on sale fr $25 (about half price). 50% Malbec and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Uco Valley in Mendoza. Less than 300 cases made. Deep purple black color.. a full bodied wine with smokey red fruit, cassis and blackberries. Rich texture. 92 points.
February 15, 2020 - Very dry, but not unpleasantly so. Blackberries, a long very earthy finish.
February 11, 2020 - In a much better place than 18mos ago. Loads of cassis on the nose and a lot of earth on the palate. Fine tannins. Quite masculine. @Ben Christiansen said it best: Catena on the front and Lafite on the back. Pretty much right
December 23, 2019 - Outstanding!
October 7, 2019 - Nose of blueberries, blackcurrants and vanilla. Has an alluring maroon purple colour. On the palate, a fruit forward wine, soft tannins, felt well rounded, there was quite some acidity towards the finish. Not spectacular, but certainly enjoyable.
August 10, 2019 - Red fruits, jelly, spices, soft. delicious.
July 8, 2019 - Clearly needs a lot of air, but after that you will find a great wine!
