A Best Buy
TASTING NOTE: Yields were affected by two frosts in Río Negro during the growing season, but the final wine is as good as ever. Leafy and perfumed, with lead pencil top notes, understated wood spices, green and white pepper undertones, racy acidity and plum and black cherry fruit flavours. Very much a southern style. Drink date: 2024-2029. Score - 93 (timatkin.com, Argentina Special Report 2023) Price $ 18.95
