| TASTING NOTE: Things are changing at Luigi Bosca under Pablo Cúneo, with less oak on the reds and more fruit concentration. This partially stainless steel fermented Cabernet comes from Luján de Cuyo and Maipú and is fresh and well balanced, with refreshing acidity and finely judged tannins. Drink date: 2020-2024. Score - 91 (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, Argentina Special Report 2019) |
