  November 13, 2021 - Color is dark red, not purple. Nose of cedar, blue berries and pencil shavings. Palate - interesting tingle on front of tongue. Blackberries, blueberry juice, tobacco. Long finish. Sweet tannins are velvety.

  April 28, 2021 - Way past its prime. Overripe cherry and banana flavor with smoky, meaty aroma. Went through the bottle over a 3 day span; glad I’m done with it! NI:3, FI:20, FC:5, B:3, L:3

  June 22, 2020 - Another Argentine wine this week. One-hour decant. Deep red in bowl, bright garnet on the rim. During decant, nose was subdued. After resting in the decanter, wine had a nose of burnt cherries, licorice and a little benzene overlay. In the mouth, wine was smooth, tannins all integrated. Stewed plums and raisins (almost like an old-style Christmas pudding) with a good dose of bitter chocolate and some licorice on the medium finish. Very pleasant wine. According to the label, wine was a blend of the two cabernets, merlot and petite verdot. This wine would stand up to a bolder dish though it was quite pleasant with steaks. I do not believe this wine is a candidate for any substantially longer storage. I will drink mine over the next year or so.
