This blended Argentine held promise - and it was reasonable at $14 - with its 60/20/20 mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec. But there's something off here - perhaps oxidized, perhaps simply sat in the sun somewhere along its journey. Think of the smell of a tar-pit; now combine that smell with the odor of burnt rubber and stewed prunes. Appetizing, isn't it? I didn't think so. The last wine I try from this producer.
70/100 - and that's being generous. You could use this wine for cooking, if you added about a cup of sugar to the reduction.
