Nice inky dark hue with a floral and hefty bouquet of rich ripe damson plum and big bold blackberry. Ash and oak.
Palate--Bold presentation with rich, dense, dark fruit flavors on a structure of youthful tannins and solidly well made on balance. Finishes with a lingering, brooding boldness of more dark berry goodness.
This wine is "crafted" not just thrown together. Hailing from Mendoza this wine is VERY nice and will become more complex with time. This is drinking well now but it will improve so much more in the next 5-8 years. I will have to buy jore and lay it down.
James Suckling--formerly of the Wine Spectator--gives this wine 92 points and he is dead on.
I paid $15 for this gem and will buy more so raise a glass! BTW, a beautiful label!!!
