Tasted by jcash on 4/22/2008 & rated 95 points: We bought a bottle of this in Buenos Aires at a wine shop called "Terroir". We asked for something that was ready for immediate consumption. It was excellent! Could have benefitted from a little breathing ortime in bottle, but my wife and I both thought it was amazing -- complex, full-bodied, firm structure lingering luxururiously and almost endlessly on the palate -- uniquely Argentine in character to boot.

Tasted by fredmartens on 3/8/2008 & rated 92 points: Very well made wine; Michel Rolland consulting. 30% CS, 50% CF, 15%M, 5% PV, all from Finca Libertad vineyard. After being somewhat disappointed by their "old vine" cab franc bottling, this was a nice surprise. Decanted 3 hours; dark purple in color, with complex fruit flavors to match and an appreciatively restrained use of oak...letting the grapes do the talking. Medium finish, unique mineral, earthy nose I couldn't deconstruct into specific scents; not reminiscent of other Mendoza wines to say the least. (513 views)

FYI, Fred is one of us.
