This was just bonkers. Purchased recently for $13. Dark but translucent ruby in color and laden with acid on the pop and pour. In the decanter it colored up and shut down. For hours it displayed this deep but slightly standoffish core of black currant fruit, limestone, cedar, tobacco and spice box but with enough fruit to say New World. This could have aged another decade. Amazing.

Had in BA, has the feel of an aged Rioja minus the vanilla/obvious wood. Deep brick red. A subtle, well made 10yro cab sauv, not as gamey as one would believe. An insane deal for less than 12$.

Great structure at a great price. Feels like there’s some cab franc in there as well, but balanced. 12 years down, probably longevity for 8 more.

Got it during sale and it seems to be spoiled already. Shame! It seems like a good wine based on the ratings.

Dec 31st, 2021Delightfully structured tannic cab from Argentina that is deep, dark, and foreboding! Inky and earthy, unbelievably tight for 13 years of age.

New world Cabernet with fruit forward from Mendoza. Ripe red fruit, leather but lacks of minerality. Still lots of tannin for a 2006. Finally summer is here in Canada!
