Tasting notes of a local wine lover without elegant literacy or web design. Just plain wine talk. By the same token I analyze the opened bottle with my senses, just at the very end I re-check the producer (I first checked it when bought it for sure!),vintage,terroir,and price. These data allow me to reconstruct the wine and trace a botton line.

Septima Gran Reserva 2008, bigger and better probaby the best 25 bucks ARG value
Septima Gran Reserva 2008, By Bodega Septima, USD 25

A multigrape red showing Agrelo´s beauty to imprint wines of great quality. Actualy we tal about high Agrelo which closer to Uco in terms of altitude and black berries dominance. If Romans added honney to wine to make it more attractive, this perfect balance of of fresh ,ripe and sweet fruit wl make them fall for it. Very delicate and fine oaky notes. Better than most Barossa I tasted. And the best is still to come. A 93 point red that may give its best close to 6 years old. Great great value.
