Amazing wine. Beautiful color, smooth and full bodied. Perfect compliment to a great steak dinner. One of the oldest Malbec vineyards in Mendoza. They know what they're doing. I know, I'm from Buenos Aires. — 9 years ago
This bottle is now part of the Don Julio wine bottle ring of honor. Noted and signed by the two of us.
On the nose; burnt ambers, incense, touch of charcoal, ruby dark currants. Ripe, deep, ruby; blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, some black plum & plum, black cherry cola, light vanilla & cinnamon, caramel, soft spice, tarry notes, some black licorice, rich loamy soil & clay with dark red florals & violets.
On the palate; the body is full. The tannins are still a little thick and dry. The wine is gorgeous & elegant now that it’s opened up. Ruby dark currants. Ripe, deep, ruby; blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, some black plum & plum & some cherry & strawberries on the longer set, black cherry cola, black raspberries liqueur notes, light vanilla & cinnamon, caramel, soft spice, some black licorice, hint of burnt ambers, sweet tarry notes, just a touch of charcoal, graphite, dry loamy soil & clay, dry dark soils, grey minerals, with dark red florals & violets. The acidity is round and beautiful. The wine is starting to hit its groove. The texture, balance, length and tension are lovely but will continue to evolve for another 8-10 years. The long finish is; beautiful, elegant, sexy and lasts minutes.
The wine really dropped some of its minerality on the last glass after nearly two hours in the decanter.
Photos of, one of, if not the best Steakhouse in Buenos Aires, Don Julio. Our signed bottle, now famed, sitting above the center bar. My ribeye 🥩 and the cooks grilling steaks directly behind the bar.
We left at 11:30p and there were still people waiting outside to be seated for dinner. — 7 years ago

This is a brilliant wine. Red fruit, smooth, elegant. I haven't had a wine this good in a very long time. AR$732 / US$45 at a restaurant in Buenos Aires, in NYC this is a $150. Mazaltov to you if you can find it. — 8 years ago

Introduced to this bottle at Buenos Aires Cafe. BIG grape here. Chewy texture...really, really good. The fruit comes late to the party but gives a tasty, lingering finish. Our kinda stuff. Bring on the skirt steak! — 8 years ago
