Nice! Aromas of ripe plums, tobacco and pencil shavings. Chewy flavors of black and blue fruit. Absolutely no green pepper, which I dislike. Long tannic finish. Could use some bottle age.

Cabernet Franc
This wine is the result of combined styles of 2 Argentine winemakers, Pablo and Hector. Durigutti. The treatment of this wine was minimal in order to preserve the natural intensity of the fruit. It has neither been cold stabilized, filtered nor fined. As a result, it may contain light deposits. Decant if necessary.

Fruity aromas of blackberry and cherry with leather and cedar. Smooth black fruits and mocha finish. Still firm tannins that give me hope for the next bottle I'll open more than 16 months from now. (That's when we'll be back from our RTW trip.) Follow our travel adventures on peripateticcouple.com

Tobacco, leather black fruits, and hints of soy sauce. An extra year made a big difference. Still firm tannins but much more integrated. Could still age for another year or two. I have two more bottle so I'll get to wait and see.

Pretty good, especially for the price. Good everyday wine
