Antucura 2003, Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot, outrageous blend fron Vistaflores



Antucura 2003, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, By Caviar Blue, USD 50



Absolutely impressive blend that may grow gorgeous next 4-6 years given the tremendous tannins in the backbone.Ripe and fresh blackberries,boysenberries and cassis sweet and delicate. Dark chocolate and to a lesser degree toast.Good peppery note and a sort of cinnamon spiciness quite attractive. A round and young red that will grow in terciary notes next 2-4 years beatifully. A 96 points red and a great value.There are a bunch of selected Argentina´s reds `top values´ at this price level where international values go above 100 bucks. Can´t wait to cellar another couple of bottles for the next years !
