What reviewers say
“4.15⭐: 92/100. Muy agradable blend Malbec-Bonarda, con un porcentaje mayor del primero. Excelente estructura. En nariz intenso, mucha fruta del bosque, especiado producto de la barrica que tiende al cacao, canela y cuero, notas ahumadas, terrosas y con puntos de mineralidad.”

Summary
Deep reddish purple with aromas of bright berry/cherry fruit. Like swallowing a whole bowl of mixed ripe berries at once. Big body yet very balanced, with luscious layers of raspberry, cherry, and cocoa flavors.
