Dark purple with a soft thinning at the rim. Despite the age it offered a soft perfume of vanilla, pencil lead, espresso and black cherry. I imagine when young, the mouth feel was bigger and carried more weight. Time has softened the edges but still exhibits flavors of chocolate, blueberries and blackberries. Time took its toll on the finish but there was a nice minerality laced with soft tea like tannins.

I don’t post about whites very often but this one is post worthy, not to be confused with sponge worthy although this wine is quite sexy. My wife brought this back from Argentina. This wine is beautifully balanced with just the right amount of oak layered in a harmonious frame. Super long 45 second finish. Try to find this if you can!
