After not having seen this Tempranillo in several years, I’m reminded of why the variety is shaky at best in Argentina. This bottling, with its weight and obvious oak, is slightly raisiny on the nose and then big, cheesy and earthy on the palate. It has heft but a wiry feel, and the finish is full of leather, tobacco and dried fruit flavors. Drink now.——M.S.(5/1/2011)—— 86
