Stately, stunning Malbec with alluring aromas of balsam wood, flower petals, cocoa and cola along with major league berry action. The palate is saturated, pure, tannic and loaded with blasting berry fruit, licorice and more. Let it age for at least another year or two. Then let it rip with a porterhouse steak.

The Best New Wines from Argentina - Good full medium ruby. Wonderfully expressive aromas of black raspberry, mocha and sexy nutty oak. Sweet, lush and full, with no shortage of firming acidity. This was actually made from the best lots of the Adrianna and Nicasia. Very broad and full in the mouth. Finishes with big but sweet tannins and lingering suggestions of minerals, leather and bitter chocolate.

Rich and opulent, this drips with crushed plum and braised fig fruit flavors, kept pure and lively by well-integrated acidity and superpolished toast. The long finish sails on with graphite, fruitcake and blueberry cobbler hints. Very big, but not heady. An impressive feat.
