Appearance: medium ruby with purple hue core -> slightly brickish rim
Nose: medium+ intensity, clean -> red fruits (cherry, cranberry), slight cola, red currant, black cherry, pencil shaving, black olive
Palate: medium acidity; medium slightly drying tannins, medium alcohol (14.7%); flavors – cedar, oak, red cherry, cranberry; medium- finish.
Quality: overall good quality — the slightly drying tannins were distracting.
The wine costs 24 Argentinian Pesos or $8 USD. As the wine opened up with time, I started to pick up notes of black walnut. The wine was very good for the price point.
