Very nice at first, turning brick red on the edges, had the smokey dusty character, with air stewed fruit came out and a bitter note, leaving me nwuy overall.

Good value. Should have bought at case and saved. Still seems very primary and young with plenty of time to go. Good depth of red and black fruits with nice structure and earthen elements.

Sweet red berry aromas. Full bodied flavors of red cherry and a little black fruit with a dusty feel. Drink now because this may be fading. Still drinking well, but may have peaked.

(Norton Privada, Mendoza) Perhaps the most consistently reliable Bordeaux blend in Argentina, this delicious wine shows why it pays to venture beyond pure Malbec. A 50/50 mixture with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot enlivens Argentina’s signature grape, creating a whole that is definitely more than the sum of its parts. Hot Picks

Upon opening smoke/charcoal on the nose. Pepper, tobacco, and hint of chocolate.

once again, the Argentinians put out a great one. Cherry and a little fig, silky tannins. Not as demanding of a steak as a malbec.
