Drinking Window: 2022 - 2028
A blend of fruit from selected old vineyard rows in Luján de Cuyo and Uco Valley.Perfumed black cherry aromas, with brambly red and black berries; harmonious and appealing. Lifted, elegant palate with fine, silky tannins. Unfurls in layers of silky black fruit, fresh red fruit, vanilla, milk chocolate, subtle whispers of spice and a gentle mineral, earthy undertow. Lingering finish... So much drinking pleasure.
