Lots of green notes. Green bell pepper, green herbs, and notes of unripe fruit. Very lush and 30 minutes presentation though, starting with the green notes in the front and rolling to a tart and warm finish. Round in the mouth but with just enough acid and tannins to provide good structure. — 7 years ago

This bottle is now part of the Don Julio wine bottle ring of honor. Noted and signed by the two of us.

On the nose; burnt ambers, incense, touch of charcoal, ruby dark currants. Ripe, deep, ruby; blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, some black plum & plum, black cherry cola, light vanilla & cinnamon, caramel, soft spice, tarry notes, some black licorice, rich loamy soil & clay with dark red florals & violets.

On the palate; the body is full. The tannins are still a little thick and dry. The wine is gorgeous & elegant now that it’s opened up. Ruby dark currants. Ripe, deep, ruby; blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, some black plum & plum & some cherry & strawberries on the longer set, black cherry cola, black raspberries liqueur notes, light vanilla & cinnamon, caramel, soft spice, some black licorice, hint of burnt ambers, sweet tarry notes, just a touch of charcoal, graphite, dry loamy soil & clay, dry dark soils, grey minerals, with dark red florals & violets. The acidity is round and beautiful. The wine is starting to hit its groove. The texture, balance, length and tension are lovely but will continue to evolve for another 8-10 years. The long finish is; beautiful, elegant, sexy and lasts minutes.

The wine really dropped some of its minerality on the last glass after nearly two hours in the decanter.

Photos of, one of, if not the best Steakhouse in Buenos Aires, Don Julio. Our signed bottle, now famed, sitting above the center bar. My ribeye 🥩 and the cooks grilling steaks directly behind the bar.

We left at 11:30p and there were still people waiting outside to be seated for dinner. — 8 years ago

This is a brilliant wine. Red fruit, smooth, elegant. I haven't had a wine this good in a very long time. AR$732 / US$45 at a restaurant in Buenos Aires, in NYC this is a $150. Mazaltov to you if you can find it. — 9 years ago

Enjoyed this montepulciano. Lots of bright berries. Pretty acidic but still a dry finish. Had on its own but should pair well with food. — 4 years ago

Okay. We took a break from the Mendoza Malbec, Cab Franc and Cab Sauv by escaping to South Australia for the night drinking this awesome Shiraz we brought with us visiting the Ballard’s in Buenos Aires! Peppered blood! That came to mind drinking it. Ripe raspberry, deep dark cherry and dried figs drenched in earthy tannin and notes of clove. Great time! Had to ignore that look Tammy gave me when I poured the last little bit just in my glass for...you know... for convenience 😊 — 6 years ago

Lovely sweet red fruits with barrel aging done right. Just a very balanced Bordeaux, mature enough tannins. In the background are left over Alfahores, brought over by my mother in law from Buenos Aires. Another true to type, non flashy import from Steep Hill. — 5 years ago

This is a gorgeous blend of Syrah, grenache and mourvedre really that is loaded with black fruit, blueberry, blackberry and muted spice. Beautiful wine, elegant and wonderfully mellow with silky tannins. Terrific value at less than $20 — 8 years ago
