Nicely fruity with plum, red cherries and raspberries ripe and sweet. Also an interesting edge of seet figs. Good balance with mild oak. Attractive and tipical of Maipu Dpt (very close to Lujan de Cuyo in character but probably somehow wilder). An 89 point malbec based blend and a very good value. To enjoy better before 4 y/o of cellar.
