Wine Review: Solid plum and berry aromas come with mild chocolaty oak scents, while the palate is ripe and pure, with just enough beefy volume. Flavors of blackberry, mixed spices, and herbal notes finish long and nice. - From Wine Enthusiast
My review: What is wrong with me? All I could smell was that latex glove like the previous wine. Is it the vineyard? What are they putting in their wine? This Argentinian was slightly more full bodied and with a much dryer finish. This bottle boasted that it was manufactured using 80 year old vines, maybe this has something to do with that. Tasted pretty similar to the previous Phebus. Dark berry finish. I'm not going to give up on Argentina or this winery, maybe it was a bad batch or something.
I had this wine without food.
