"A 99/100 from James Suckling whose praise makes this a real treasure from the Uco Valley to have in your cellar!"

"Classy, layered nose showing minty blackberries, tart black cherries, cassis, cigars and minerals, then cocoa powder and a finely tuned balsamic flavor. A medium- to full-bodied red with wonderful freshness, juicy fruit and confidence on the palate. Incredibly long, concentrated and impeccable. Really well-balanced, complex and persistent. Genuine harmony and length." (James Suckling 2022)

About the wine:

Classy, layered nose, showing minty blackberries, tart black cherries, cassis, cigars and minerals, then cocoa powder and a finely tuned balsamic flavor. A medium- to full-bodied red with wonderful freshness, juicy fruit and confidence on the palate. Incredibly long, concentrated and impeccable. Really well-balanced, complex and persistent. Genuine harmony and length. To drink or to keep.
