Tried another taste, not any better. Made from 40-year old vines in Cruz de Piedra, berry and spicy nose. Cherry and plum flavors with spice notes. Rugged tannins makes it difficult to enjoy. Needs a big food dish. Pass. Tasting Sample.

Strong sulfides and very reduced. Had to decant 4 times to get the wine in a drinkable form. Good weight on the palate.

Smooth and elegant, this Cabernet from Mendoza is dry with earthy overtones. It finishes clean with nicely integrated tannins.

Spicy but smooth. Enough depth to pair with str nag flavors. Still not a favorite. The mascota blend is better.
