A nice firm CS that needs a bit more time to evolve. The wine is young and kicking, but here in Rio everybody loved it with a juicy Brazilian steak. Deep garnet color, lovely nose with cherries, coffee, vanilla , spices and cedar wood, a full robust body with firm dry tannins, that need a few more years to mellow . Nice balancing acidly and a long dry finish. My score 87, drink 2016-2023

Found in Mom and Dad's liquor cabinet. Best wine I have drank since arrived in the U.S.

Came up as a Malbec but it's a blend of Cabernet and Malbec. Dry, fruity, firm. Really good.

Great nose with tobacco and leather. Big black berry notes to start with a soft finish. A big wine to start without the heat of too much alcohol. Deep and complex, this is a fun wine to drink!

Dry and oaky but lots of black cherries and blackberries... A bit of raspberry... Bloody awesome Argie wine... Bloody like zombie splat fest awesome... This is better than Brad Pitt, Simon Pegg, Alex Palmer, Jesse Eisenberg and Nicolas Hoult combined. I'm very impressed. Debbie really likes it.
