Paired with a grilled skirt steak and and a black bean and quinoa side.
Enjoyable though simplistic Bornarda.
Nose: At opening - full of red berry and jammy sweetness. After 1+ hours it moves to the more traditional notes of cassis, smoke and earthiness come out.
Flavor: mild melding of raspberry, smoke and a touch of pepper.
Mouthfeel: Medium and soft with a short finish - above anything else, I think this limits what could be a 89+ point wine.

I found this too harsh for my taste. Astringent.

Subdued for a Bonarda. Perhaps past it's prime. Deep ruby color, hint of a chai spice notes of tobacco and a hint rubber until she opened up.

Nice spice. A bit past its prime but still drinkable for another six months or so.

My favorite of 4 Argentinian wines in this tasting. Dark crimson color, medium body and well balanced (nothing out of place). Good value.
