Notes from critics
Crafted by legendary Pomerol winemaker Jean-Claude Berrouet (formerly of Château Pétrus), this flagship Uco Valley red is a masterclass in Merlot-driven elegance. Sourced from high-elevation vineyards in San Pablo, it balances ripe dark plum and wild herbs with sweet tobacco, cinnamon, and graphite. The texture is seamless and velvety, offering Bordeaux-like restraint and nuance with Argentine soul.

Sweet tobacco leaf, white truffles, elegant plums, berries, bark and a touch of dry earth and cinnamon. Lots of finesse here. Really layered and long, with firm but polished tannins. Nothing loud, but super refined. Persistent finish that lasts almost a minute. A great effort from 2020. Merlot, petit verdot, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc.
