  Critic tasting note: "Never in its young history has the Clos 7 blend tasted this good right away. The '06 shows excellent young aromas of charcoal, black pepper and blackberry. The palate preserves that pepper and coffee blackness as it strides across ripe, satisfying blackberry and cassis flavors. It'sMalbec and then smaller amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Made by Michel Rolland and the other owners of the Clos de los Siete vineyards." - 92/100, Wine Enthusiast

2006 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2008

(2008) 45% Malbec, 35% Merlot, 10%CS, 10% Syrah. 15% ABV. Fragrant, quite crisp and brightly fruity on the nose with small raspberry and violet nuances, and the creamy and cedary oak in the background. In the mouth plenty of extraction, with real grip from tight, grainy tannins and a real liquorice grip. Good acidity, with plenty of sour cherry. Needs time, but a big, savoury wine.

Vintage quality: Excellent

Current condition: Ready to drink

For Argentina, the 2006 vintage was excellent.

The winter was icy and saw some snow while the spring continued in the cool trajectory delaying both budbreak and flowering. The dry, chilly conditions eventually warmed throughout the growing season but ripening was pr...
