A very good wine. It is elegant, complexity notes of aromas and flavours and a long finish!

Blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Malbec and 5% Cabernet Franc, co-fermented and sourced from vineyards in Vista Flores and Altamira in the Valle de Uco, deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruit, floral and spicy notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and blueberry with herb and generous spice. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice and mineral character. Nice! — 3 years ago

We recently pulled some cases out of storage, which haven't seen the light of day for nearly 15 years, so I'll have some fun posts in the next several months.

Nose has split oak firewood (barely seasoned), cigar box, moist cedar shavings, blackberry, dried black currant, dried roses, fresh violets, moist leather, dried lavender dark chocolate powder and graphite pencil shavings.

Palate has chocolate covered blackberry, tarry black cherry, cedar sawdust, dark chocolate bark, prune, anise candy, clay pot and leather. Very long finish, subtle tannins exist still, amazing wine!

Cork pulled, 2h rest, then decanted 6h, a perfect bottle, still young, future bottles may be 2023-30, without concern.

Revisiting a delicious Malbec from the Valle de Uco, Argentina 🇦🇷

This wine is medium purple with youthful, concentrated aromas of ripe blackberry, blueberry, and plum; also dried sage, thyme, and lavender, wet earth, espresso, black licorice, peppercorn, smokiness, and game.

It is a dry wine, with medium acidity, a full body, high alcohol, medium tannins, and medium(+) intensity in flavors consistent with the nose. The finish is medium.

Evident in the purity of fruit expression, this wine has not seen oak, underwent whole cluster fermentation, and matured in a concrete egg (hence the name!).

Fragrant strawberries on the nose, rich red fruit combined with fresh minerals on the palate, lightly spiced, dry, with a medium finish. Firm and clean, overall an excellent blend of Malbecs from neighbouring areas. — 5 years ago

Needs a straight decant or min of forty mins in the glass before it fully opens up to a beautiful exotic bouquet of red fruits, dark chocolate and roses. Cheers. — 3 years ago
