Agrelo District, Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaBig dark colour. Mulberry, coffee, vanilla, black olive, tobacco, cedar, licorice, floral aromas. Ripe, round, smooth and suave palate with light tannin and juicy acidity. Vanilla, coffee blackberry jam, mulberry, licorice, smoky, roast meat, savory, peppery flavours. A bit warm with lots of toasted oak but good fruit with some light tannins. This needs another three years to reach its peak.
