| Jay Miller of robertparker.com awarded this wine a rating of 92+ and suggested a drinking range extending from 2013 through 2023. (Dec. 22, 2010) TASTING NOTE: A fantastic red with blackberry, blueberry, tar and walnuts. Full body, with very fine tannins and a long, long finish. It's a wonderfully polished yet rich wine. Blend of mostly malbec with some cabernet sauvignon. Drink now. Score - 95 (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, Dec. 18, 2014) |
