Fat, buttery style, with some apple fruit. Buttery finish. The regular bottling shows less toast and fresher fruit. Drink now. 5,400 cases made.??–JM??Region: Argentina / Mendoza Select to Add

Fairly lemony and a bit buttery, with ripe tropical fruit sitting in wait. Aromas of butterscotch, baking spices and honey are largely attractive, as is the melon and citrus on the palate. Possibly too oaky for opponents of heavily barreled wines, but for most folks it’ll satisfy. ——W.E.(5/2/2005)—— 88
