Omg didn’t expect to feel enthused and I am at least enthusing. It’s got that good ripeness but is ohhhh so fresh in an unpretentious way like it is en pointe but it took it til age 16 for madame to approve it for pointe (not projecting real life nahhh) so it says “elegant red and black fruit with undercurrents earth” but ”oh hi I’m so ripe cause like, The sun is hot!”. Ugh I adore this didn’t expect to and I do. Egads.

Great, elegant cab franc. Not as strong varietal identity as other modern Argentine francs - the graphite taste is more subtle. Dry, elegant, fairly tannic, red fruit. Excellent wine.

Lacks personality and power. Gala 2 and 1 are much better choices.

Absolutely loved this wine. A gem not to be missed. Smooth and rich flavor, dark fruits. Age added exceptional complexity.
