On the nose, ripe, ruby fruits of; dark cherries, black raspberries, blackberries and raspberries on the edges. Black licorice, sweet tarry notes, cinnamon, vanilla, some clove, dark rich soils, suede leather, dark fruit cola, light crushed rocks, nice spice and dark deep violets. On the palate, the body is lush & full. The tannins are firm, meaty, tarry and sticky. Ruby, ripe; dark cherries, black raspberries, blackberries, cherries & strawberries as it opens up with raspberries on the edges. Black licorice, sweet tarry notes, cinnamon, vanilla, some clove, dark rich soils, suede leather, dark fruit cola, light crushed rocks, heavy grippy dark minerals, nice dark spice and dark deep violets. The round acidity is beautiful. The rich, ruby ripe, lush, elegant finish is divine. Photos of, Bodega Terrazas de Los Andes. All new French oak barrels waiting for the 2018 vintage. Landscaping around the courtyard and their shinny inverted cone shaped stainless steel tanks.
