Las Compuertas, Vistalba District, Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaOpen peppery, black cherry jam, orange peel, liquorice nose with savoury, vanilla, garrigue aromas. Rich, full, concentrated palate with fresh acidity and slightly austere tannins. Black cherry, plum and liquorice flavours with savoury, tobacco, ash, smoky, coffee bits in the back end. Big, full, warm and youthful structure that needs four to five more years in bottle to mature. Fine intensity with finesse and power.
