Very powerful, full-palate whack. Black fruit with juiciness. This wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot. Enjoy it with back ribs.

Reviews and Ratings

Dan Trcka Wine Blogger rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

The 2008 Nieto Senetiner Don Nicanor is French styled, medium bodied, fruity wine, with nice aromas of yogurty strawberry, raspberry, bilberry and coconut. Tannins are refined (decant for 30 min) and the finish is long, smooth and silky. It is bit young for my liking and has a great potential to evolve, best 2014/15 to 2020. My impression: NICE to BEAUTIFUL, 90 pts - a recommended buy. Tasted Oct/11.
