Natalie's Score: 89/100

Cigar box aromas borne on a river of black plum pleasure through the palate. Full-bodied with lapping layers of liquid velvet. This is the one to pour if you want to celebrate anything, including just opening this bottle. Pair this with a New York steak.

Malbec food pairings: pizza, lamb, spicy sausage, beef, meatloaf.

Reviews and Ratings

Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A full-boded brooding wine from a family owned winery that helped put Argentine wines on the world stage - especially Malbec. This single vineyard Malbec has aromas and flavours of ripe dark fruit, plum, tar, cigar box, vanilla, charred oak, bakers chocolate, anise. Sily tannins coupled with medium+ acidity give this wine some cellaring potential. A very long fruit driven finish. Nice complex wine for the ultimate wine collector. Serve with Argentinian style salted red meats. Preferably rare or medium rare. Yum!
Tasted: December 2014
