Description
Appearance: Deep purple-black with a bright ruby rim, showing impressive concentration and intensity.
Nose: Powerful and complex aromas of ripe blackberries, blackcurrants, dark plums and black cherries, complemented by savoury notes of tobacco, green pepper and graphite. Subtle hints of roasted coffee, smoke, vanilla, cloves and sweet spice add depth and sophistication.
Palate: Rich, succulent and full-bodied, displaying concentrated flavours of cassis, ripe blackberry, dark plum and black cherry. Substantial yet exceptionally fine-grained tannins provide impressive structure without harshness. Fresh acidity brings balance and precision, while layers of coffee, dark chocolate, smoky oak, black pepper and mineral complexity contribute further depth.
Finish: Long, persistent and beautifully structured, with lingering black fruit, roasted coffee, subtle spice and savoury mineral notes.
Overall impression: An exceptional high-altitude Argentine red combining the richness and concentration of Malbec with the subtle aromatic complexity of Cabernet Franc. The 2015 vintage offers powerful dark fruit, beautifully textured tannins and impressive savoury depth. A distinctive, mature wine that balances considerable intensity with elegance and finesse.
