Extremely deep and dark cherry red. An explosive mixture of cold tobacco, green tea and dark chocolate paired with dark cherries. On the palate the green tea and the tobacco are dominating, Very fleshy and sexy. A Christmas wine! Very, very long.
This wine was a present of my very good friend Mr J. Even if it's of course just at its beginning, the wine offers already a lot of fun. I enjoyed it a little bit chilled with my family on a summer afternoon as part of a salmon barbecue. Extremely good. But of course the perfect pairing - in its current conditon - would be a goose dish in Christmas time. Also some heavy cheeses would be very good partners for this outstanding Argentinian beauty.
This wine will have a very long life of 15 years or more.
