Description

Nose started very tight but showed some ripe blueberry, red and black licorice, menthol, very “cool” nose with ripe fruit lurking but no hint of heat at all. As the nose opened the fruit got a little darker and it began to show that combo of red meat and “bready” tones that a lot of high-quality Argentinian wine seems to show. I was surprised to learn this uses 100% new oak- the oak is very well integrated here, although the nose did remain fairly shy throughout, never super expressive.
