This fabulous blend of Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc was aged for 24 months, yes two years, in new French oak barrels. Wow, you already know this is going to be big wine. The grapes came from two vineyards both in the Uco Valley where they picked the grapes by hand in late Marhc and early April. The winemaker Attilio Pagli has produced a truely lovely wine that is best decanted at least an hour before drinking. A wine to savour.

Food: Big hearty dishes of game and red meat would all complement, as well as medium to strong cheeses. Dishes with mushrooms, pastry or roast vegetables with thyme, rosemary and garlic would also be perfect partners.
Tasting Notes: A delicious, big, bold wine. You'll notice the intense red purple colour as soon as you pour it. Fruity on the nose with a brilliant red fruit flavours accompanied by notes of apricot and plum. The body isn't just full, it's substantial, but oh so velvety with a long soft finish. Drink now or lay down for up to 10 years.
