A hulk of a wine with forced oak that results in aromas of mint, char, citrus peel and smoke. The palate is endowed with ample black cherry, raspberry and mocha flavors, while the finish mixes orange peel, chocolate and a lot of leftover wood resin. Interesting but very oaked up and not quite in perfect balance.——M.S.(12/31/2007)—— 88

This thick, solid wine has developed appealing nutmeg and cinnamon accents while retaining a core of ripe plum and raisin flavor. Expressive, with impressive backbone, and it still has development ahead. Drink now through 1999.??–null??Region: Argentina / Mendoza Select to Add
