Great value Cab from Argentina here. Like a bachelor party night. It smells like cigar smoke with a hint of vanilla perfume and leather unmentionables, and its smooth like the boys one-liners. Get your Wolf Pack together for a preload and pair it with a big ribeye and a dollop of horseradish.

Nice concentration and balance. Good vale.

Beautiful medium+ ruby in colour with medium+ intensity on the nose.
Positives: Cedar, turmeric, pencil shavings, leather, sour cherry, blueberry, nutmeg, tobacco leaves & spinach. Medium+ body, tannins, acidity & length.
Negatives: A little too green & not enough fruit or earth notes to make this a pleasurable wine to drink now.
Needs to age another 5 years. If you are to drink now pair it with medium rare steak.
