The complete x. Wild brush, boysenberry & high allspice aromas with some soy, reductuctive quality.

Nearly opaque color, oily sheen, lingering viscosity. Body has smooth rich texture, light/medium weight and deceiving acid, great structure, moderate tannins.

Fine red cherry licorice finishing to black cherry/cassis. Layers. Some seeds, bitterness run along the back.

Serving with Piedmontese steak, roasted bell peppers and baked golden potatoes. Epic

Delicious. Especially when paired with steak. Intensely fragrant, full bodied with strong fruit. Really benefits from time to breathe (2-3 hours)

Dark red berries, pasture and allspice on the nose. Subtle fruit with a perfect light tannin finish on the tongue. Divinity in a glass. #argentina #wine

A spectacular Malbec from the Uco Valle, said to be completely unoaked, aged 24 months in concrete. Big body, with dark red fruits. Worth the retail price??
