Blackberry, raspberry, dark chocolate, licorice, dried sage and oak. Great structure and big, chewy tannins.

Great wine. Had it at a tasting of that vineyard. Worth the price

Feeling lucky to be tasting this wine tonight. Cab, Malbec, Cab Franc, Petit Verdot. High altitude. Fine showing from Balbo's Argentina.

Bold without being brazen. Chalky tannins, middling but supporting acidity. Needs a few to five years to really show its stuff.

It's quite nice, the fruit is a bit too acidic but it's a baby. I'll come back in 5 years

A Cabernet Sauvignon heavy blend, perfectly paired with Gnocci and mushrooms.
