Tons of leather, tobacco and dark fruits. Purchased at the vineyard while in Mendoza and cellared for 8 years. Seems to have aged very well and better than I remember - and that says a lot as wines always taste better at the vineyard!

Still tight and chewy. Concentrated tannins, dark inky purple color, rich fruit and spice plus a moderately long finish with subtle earth and minerality that made this a perfect choice for paring with steak and honey-truffle chicken & roasted root veggies. Could lay down for 5-8 more years and still deliver strong performance.

Drank too early. Deep violet, inky complexion. Red fruits and plum dominant and quite present tannins and oak. Needs a few more years of cellar time to integrate.
