This is the “Jardin de Tru” comprised of 44% Malbec, 22% Merlot, and 24% Syrah. Juicy dark red fruits, green peppercorns, and dry vegetation.

Nice balance given the 11.9% abv. Not overly green. First Mexican wine I’ve had and while it’s expensive for what it is ($36) I look forward to watching this producer and region. — 2 years ago

Deep gold in color. Apricot cobbler, ginger, ripe peach, and petrol on the nose. The palate presents apricot liquor, flint, orange liqueur, white pepper, ginger, cinnamon, clove, dried stone fruit, and lemon. Medium bodied, medium alcohol, medium acid, and a long complex finish. This wine is at its prime at 13 years old. A fascinating wine. — 4 months ago
