Mendoza, ArgentinaBig savoury, spicy, barnyard, saddle leather, poultry spice, chocolate, roasted mushroom, black cherry, Oxo aromas. Full, round, rich palate but dry with some edgy tannins. Cedar, meaty, peppery, savoury, smoky, herbal, plum, olive, roasted carrot flavours. Finish is full but a bit short and hard. The 2008 appears cleaner and offers better balance.Tasted: 15 February 2012Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
