A blend of vintages 67% malbec (2010 vintage from Agrelo, Lujan de Cuyo) and 33% Cabernet Sauvignon (2008 vintage from Villa Seca, Maipu)
both Central Mendoza 'Primera Zona'. A really impressive red full of fruit, ripe and delicious. Medium body and nice alcohol and acidity. To palate every second it lasts. Red cherries, black currants, red bell pepper, chocolate are some descriptors I may use in any secuency and only make clear the oaky elements are soft giving room to the complex arrange of fruits and 'natural vegetables'. The wine´s really attractive and balanced. I´d say a 91 point red that I wounld´t cellar more than 6 years old given the beauty the fruit poses o it. Great value.
