TASTING NOTE: The sales of this wine help support the Leo Messi Foundation, a charity that helps at-risk children that was started by the great Argentine soccer player. Great intensity on the nose with plenty of dark fruit, spice and coffee notes. Juicy, rich and ripe, this is crafted in a smooth, approachable and versatile style that will make it a favourite this weekend with grilled burgers, ribs or steak. It will also reward 3-5 years in your cellar. (VINTAGES panel, Oct. 2014) |
