Mendoza, ArgentinaDeep cherry colour. Very peppery, smoky, meaty, black cherry, coffee, cigar butt aromas. Rich, warm, dry and somewhat astringent with very smoky, resiny, gamey, peppery, black cherry and vanilla flavours. Dry, tannic finish with some acidity showing. Good fruit but needs time, a hunk of meat a la churrasco and some tango.Tasted: 17 July 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
