Medium ruby hue. Aromas of black cherry, blackcurrant, cassis, leather, licorice, smoke, and tar. Plus body, plus tannins, plus acid. Balanced with grainy tannins and a long finish. Old World undertones with New World freshness. 60% Malbec, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. — 7 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2020 Reserva pours a deep ruby/purple with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart dark fruits: blackberry, black cherry, toasted coconut, dill, vanilla, wood, and associated baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Already balanced but the oak is playing a significant role at this stage (this is traditionally made Rioja Reserva we’re talking about). There is plenty of stuffing however and I expect this will become even more balanced with some time on its side. Want to see a wine under $20 that can age for 30 years? Welp, here you go. Drink now through 2050. — 13 days ago
