Bright ruby-red. More primary and clenched on the nose than the Paso de Piedra Malbec, hinting at chocolate and menthol. A rather muscular, distinctly dry Cabernet with good density of texture but limited fruit sweetness in the early going. In a rather medicinal style, finishing with a firm tannic spine and an impression of austerity. I wonder where this youthfully unforthcoming wine can go in bottle.

Currants and stones with hints of mint follow through to a medium body, tight and silky tannins and a savory finish. Drink or hold.
