Big, with flashy coconut and vanilla toast leading the way for ripe blackberry, fig and mocha flavors. Nearly heady, but with lots of suave, creamy fruit on the finish. Drink now through 2006. 26,000 cases made.??–JM??Region: Argentina / Mendoza Select to Add

Big and sassy, with smoky aromas of barbecued meat, baked dark fruits, eucalyptus and leather. In the mouth, it’s more sweet than subdued, with cassis, blackberry and hints of chocolate. Very much in the modern style, with a plush feel and the aftertaste of coffee meeting cola. ——W.E.(5/2/2005)—— 90
