Reserva Mendoza Cabernet Sauvignon
Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
Bought this at Costco here in FL. I'm on my 4th glass now and can't express what it's characteristics are but I know I like it!

Light ruby in color and medium intensity, with a brick hue and an orange/ brick rim.
Interesting and complex nose of red currants, cherries, plums, green pepper, earth, vanilla, licorice, sage, dill, vegetables, vanilla, smoke, metals, asparagus, cooking spices, wood and peppercorn. A Wonderful nose of well integrated flavors.
Medium plus in body, smooth and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with plums, cherries, strawberries, currants, vanilla, licorice, earth, spices, peppercorn, leather, oak, light vanilla, green pepper, chocolates, mushrooms, tobacco, herbs, spices and black pepper.
Medium plus in finish with fine grained tannins and spices.
This 7 year old Argentinian Cabernet Sauvignon is drinking very nicely now. Well balanced with nice integrated complexity. Soft mouth feel and much smoother than before. Enjoyable by itself as a sipping wine or with food.
Needs 30 minutes to open up and blossom. It was worth keeping it all this time, much better now than 2 years ago. Changed every 15 minutes in the decanter.
I had it all by itself, paired with good music played by my daughter.
14% alcohol by volume.

Dark ruby in color with a short brick rim.
Nice nose with lots of earth tones and blackberries, plums, cherries, black currants, wood, earth, licorice, spices, light vanilla, vegetables, pencil lead, green pepper, alcohol, vinaigrette, herbs and peppercorn.
Medium to full-bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long flowing legs.
Earthy and dry on the palate with blueberries, cherries, plums, black currants, earth, licorice, oak, bell pepper, herbs, bitter vegetables, vanilla, forest floor, graphite, spices and black pepper.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and spices.
This Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, from Argentina, is drinking very nicely now, after spending 7 years in the bottle. Balanced with a smooth mouthfeel and nice complexity. Still holding enough acidity to make the ending interesting. Enjoyable by itself and great with food.
Robert Parker gave it 87 Points.
Drinks much nicer now than a few years ago. Better after 60 minutes of airtime.
I paired it with hard and soft cheeses, crackers and nuts.

Nice clean taste. Smoky and great tanin finish, but not over powering. Subtle fruit very nice balance. Amazing for the $$
