TASTING NOTE: Sourced from four different vineyards in Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley (with the latter origin dominating the blend), this is made up of 75 lots and is a seamless, aromatic cuvée from the brilliant Alejandro Vigil. Violets and lavender on the nose segue into flavours of blueberry and blackberry. Score - 93 (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, March 2016) |
