Great color, but this was perhaps a little young still. Once some of the cork blew off, it really opened up and was quite nice. Earthly like a Malbec should be, cherries and some leather on the finish. Eat with bold food like cured beef and veggies or some hard cheese.
This is a great example of the good to excellent wines Argentina is producing at very reasonable prices. They have some Old World flair at affordable everyday prices.
