Expert Reviews

92 Points | International Wine Cellar , January 2012

(from four different vineyards, each picked at four different times):  Good ruby-red.  Laid-back aromas of blackberry, musky coffee and licorice, with a violet note emerging with air.  Superconcentrated and sweet, but with firm balancing acidity and a mineral pungency giving the wine excellent thrust.  Very deep malbec with broad, smooth tannins and serious length.
