A Cabernet Franc from Agrelo district, Lujan de Cuyo Dpt, Central Mendoza.
A nice fruity and attractive red with ripe fruits albeit dominant at the palate with some peppery and herbal notes somehow branching off. Acidity and alcohol quite appropriate. Oaky stuff nice and delicate with
vanilla included. A 92 point red and a good value. I don´t feel ageing this red more than 4-6 years would bring a better wine,at least to my palate.
