Exemplary and exotic in the same breath. Aromas of sandalwood, spiced blueberry compote and fine leather make for an awesome bouquet. The palate is structured and huge like any top-end Argentine Malbec, but there’s purpose and elegance as well. Tastes of integrated oak, black fruits, subtle herbs and spice. Textured, deep and toasty on the finish. Drink now through 2015. ——M.S.(12/31/2011)—— 93
