More powerful than finca mirador. Needs a couple more years of aging. Wonderful wine. Go to Mendoza and enjoy Achaval Ferrer nice couches in the garden with a great view of the Andes. For me the best producer in Argentina

A more structured Malbec than the Yacochuya earlier which had more loose knit tannins. Some sweet berry notes with leather nuances. Excellent with a rosy future.

v11. Outstanding wine. Soft, smoked meat nose. Juicy, black currant and cassis fruit. Weighty, velvety smooth, chocolate and subtle leather finish. Well balanced.
