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:
Alexandre rated this wine as 95/100
This blockbuster Argentine red blends 50% Tempranillo, 30% Malbec and 20% Merlot. Amazingly ripe and deep wine from 2004, so it’s all that it’s going to be. Thick and figgy aromas bring bacon, mint and cool, cushiony cola notes. The palate is mega-saturated with chocolaty oak and dark berry power galore. Remains oaky on the finish; a massive wine to drink now through 2017. Score: 93 Source: Michael Schachner, Wine Enthusiast
