An attractive red with some of the mixed stuff of a beutiful CF, I mean fresh cherries and currants with blueberries and nice toasty notes. Also you may find mild herbal and peppery notes wich make it more complex.
The wine got better after an our opened (or I got better fine tuned to it, who knows?). In any case the wine get the 90 point score
with good room for improve in 2 to 4 years from now. So it may be a better wine in 6-8 years form born. Good value no doubt.
Cabernet Franc reach a very complex and attractive structure in some districts of Central Mendoza.
Malbec is the prime minister of Argentina, but don´t miss all the others and you´ll find wonderful wines to please your palate whatever that be.
