A nice return to form for this producer, featuring notes of boysenberry, tar, and smoke commingling throughout. Hints of black currant weave in late, lingering on the medium finish.

Blend of old vine 59% Malbec, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. Elegantly complex, medium-high intensity aromas of dark fruit, blackberry, violet, currant, cassis, earthy mineral, and fine oak spices. It is full-bodied and nicely concentrated with lovely ripe blackberry, currant, fine oak spice, violet, and earthy-stony mineral flavours which are supported by fresh acidity and firm, chewy, and well-structured tannins. Crisp and fresh with mineral notes lingering on the exceptionally long, dry finish. Score: 93+ pts
Negro, de borde púrpura. Es complejo, carnoso y potente (14.6%). Es un blend (45% malbec) muy bien logrado. Nariz: carne, ciruela, tabaco y pimiento verde. Boca: mas fruta negra, regaliz, mineralidad y por supuesto, violetas. Muy buena acidez y taninos presentes pero pulidos. Requiere de una buena aireacion. Reservar un par de años más.

Lots of red fruit and medium-full body. Quite enjoyable.
