Don Diego, Syrah Castaño 2006, Catamarca. USD 22 Castaño barriques (chestnut). Nice syrah´s tipicity without attraction. Nice beginning but short palate with soft smoke and spicy insinuate. I´d say kind of 82 points wine not worth the price.
Nina ,Petit Verdot 2006, Valle de Aminga La Rioja, USD 17 Showed bitter herbaceous notes and black berries more than red ones. Only a soft smoke and spicy end. I´d say 83 points not worthing the the price in anyway. Don´t think it´s going to improve anylonger.
Monteagrelo, Syrah 2007, Bressia , USD 28. Nice syrah with much oaky in vanilla and coconut aromas from the first nose´s pick. An attractive wine but overwhelmed by american oak. Clear black fruits and black pepper spiciness. I don´t go more than 84 points here.
