Parker said: “The wine is not cheap $60-$70 (our price is $49.95 as a reminder!!), but something from Napa or Bordeaux this fine would be in excess of $100. The telltale floral notes, lot of licorice, espresso and blackberry and blueberry fruit.....already complex and delicious, this wine should last 10-20+ years…”.
With super old-vine and own-rooted Malbec, planted back in 1935 in Lujan de Cuyo, blended with some Cab, this is a world-class Mendoza red blend that rivals some of the very best in the country. Farmed organically and sustainably, the ties to Bordeaux (they own Clos L'Eglise, Bard Haut and Poesia in St. Emilion) are evident in the style, elegance and ageability found in this wine. With a good 12 years of age on this finesse-filled beauty, it is now...PERFECT. Perfect to drink, to contemplate, to discuss, to savor (preferably with an asado, of course). Yes! Need more convincing? THE PRICE!!
