Sadly never comes to the States and last had an ‘04 when I was in Argentina in ‘11 so couldn’t wait to find a bottle on this trip. More gripping and darker in color than the blood-red ‘04. Great now and will continue to soften and evolve over many years to come. Glad to see it’s popularity Increasing since last time....albeit harder to find! ;)

Brought back from Argentina in 2011. Let it rest 7 years and just enjoyed it. Tough to find something to complain about. But that’s what I’d expect when it has that price tag

Kind of flat. Dry. Lacking complexity.

No olfato, predominam cerejas e framboesa, no paladar amora, ameixa, frutas vermelhas no geral, adocicado na medida certa, um verdadeiro néctar, bem encorpado mas ao mesmo tempo suave, acidez despercebida. Sensacional!

17/20 (92/100) Развитой букет ароматов с нотами варенья из чёрной смородины, спелых ягод ежевики, чёрного чая и шоколада. Тельное с умеренной кислотностью и мягкими, бархатистыми танинами. Заметная спиртуозность во вкусе. Продолжительное послевкусие. Очень новосветское, паркеровский стиль.
