Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: Fine, balanced Cabernet that ably proves Argentina can do much more than just Malbec. Look for aromas of cassis, mocha, vanilla, blacberry and woodsmoke. A ripe wine with an intriguing rustic tone. Serve it with hearty autumnal stews. You could also cellar it for 3+ years. My note: Juicy, rich and pleasant with a good full-bodied grip. Blackberry and cassis, fleshy ripe and delicious. Decant 2 hours. Food matches: stew.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Ryan Hindmarsh rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Great value Cab from Argentina here. Like a bachelor party night. It smells like cigar smoke with a hint of vanilla perfume and leather unmentionables, and its smooth like the boys one-liners. Get your Wolf Pack together for a preload and pair it with a big ribeye and a dollop of horseradish.
