A wonderful Cab fron a single vineyard (Finca Las Divas) in Tupungato Valley (part of Uco Valley).
Full body red with ripe fruits, mostly black cherries, sweet plum and confited quince like 'membrillo'.
Beautifull balance of alcohol and acidity with a astonishing equilibrium. I wound´t go less than 95 point on this Cab, and one of the best Argentina´s I´ve ever seen. I feel this Cab is best like it is now and all through its plateau of 4 to 8 years. I don´t feel it´ll be better with more terciary notes, but this is personal bias.
