A fleshy, ripe style, with some heft to the mix of currant, fig and plum fruit, while the red licorice and spice notes stay in the background. The finish is toasty but integrated. Drink now. 20,000 cases made, 4,000 cases imported.??–JM??Region: Argentina / Mendoza Select to Add

Slightly baked and raisiny on the nose, with char and licorice aromas backing that up. The palate is more acidic than you’d expect, with an outsized zesty bite to go with snappy, herbal plum and cherry tomato flavors. Baked and warm on the finish.——M.S.(12/31/2009)—— 85
