Valle De Uco, Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
On the nose; ripe, ruby black plums dominate. Blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries and strawberries on the edges of the glass. Caramel, beautiful baking spices; cinnamon, clove, vanilla & nutmeg. Mocha, dark cherry cola, soft wood notes, whiff of black pepper, loamy dry soil, dry stones and candied; red & blue florals with dark lavender & violets.
On the palate, the body is nearly full. The tannins are big yet rounded, velvety but still, tarry and sticky. The fruits are beautifully ripe gorgeous, velvety & creamy. Plums, blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries and strawberries on the edges of the glass. Caramel, beautiful baking spices; cinnamon, clove, vanilla & nutmeg. Mocha, dark cherry cola, soft wood notes, whiff of black pepper, chewy leather, loamy dry soil, dry stones, dry crushed rocks with powder, softer rocky minerals than the previous wines and candied; red & blue florals with dark lavender & violets. The acidity is bright and fresh. The length, texture, structure and balance are in an excellent spot. Time the bottle accounts for a lot. The finish is, long, ruby, ripe, elegant, well balanced lasts for minutes.

Very flavorful and paired amazingly well with a local Miette goat cheese, but not the Comte.
