Served blind, I guessed Loire CF. In my humble opinion, Susana should take this the right way; positive!!! Elegant and bell pepper infused, this might well turn into something really nice in 3-6 years from now. If this single example can he used as an indication of Argentina's future wine wise, then count me in.

Full bodied Argentine wine, with a nice grippy finish. Aromas of molasses and leather. It goes does smooth and is quite dry.

My first Argentinian Cabernet. I think this is a quite nice wine…good aroma and flavor. Dark plum and currant, tobacco, chocolate, bell pepper, mint, mild jamminess, vanilla and spice. Smooth and the tannins are in control.
