Otto liked this wine the other day and his description made me curious. A blend of Malbec (60%) Cabernet Sauvignon (35%) and Tempranillo (5%). Attractive aromas of cherry, sous bois and some tar. Complex and flavorful, with sour cherry and pine resin flavors, a touch of funk, and good acidity. Very different from other Argentine wines I've tasted, with a very particular personality, more European and less new world. The judicious alcohol helps, and suggests that the grapes were picked at the old-fashioned level of ripeness. Only a certain lightness in the mid-palate prevented this from being truly satisfying, but Marcia and I finished the entire bottle (rare) while watching an excellent Argentine movie, Juan José Campanella's Luna de Avellaneda (like food, wine tastes better with movies from the same terroir

It helps that it is inexpensive and, unusually, did not cost a mutiple of the US price.
