90+ Antonio Galloni - Vinous

"Bright medium ruby. Aromas of blackberry, black cherry, licorice pastille, cocoa powder and dark chocolate. Plush, supple and sweet, with broad blackberry and spicy oak flavors nicely framed by well-integrated acidity. The Bonarda component serves to fill out the wine's mid-palate, giving it a silky smoothness. Not at all overly sweet on the back end, which shows solid tannic support. A fairly large-scaled, generous blend to drink now or hold, and an outstanding value."

"Sweet and gracious, this blend of malbec and bonarda expands in the mouth with its flavors of candied cherries and spices. Once you pass this soft wave of fruit, the tannins appear behind it, with a structure that's imposing enough to take on grilled meats."
