Tasting Notes: This is the asado (BBQ for us Americans) wine you have been searching for! Deep
blackcurrant and oak aromas with opaque red/purple color. Flavors of black cherry
liqueur, red currants, and a touch of black tea. Lush without seeming heavy, the wine
seems to unfold in layers, keeping the palate excited well past the lengthy finish. Plenty
of tannin for aging without any harsh astringency. Pairs well with most fine food presentations
like duck in a fruit sauce, leg of lamb persillade, osso buco, and even a simple
filet mignon. 94pts (2012 Vintage) Wine Spectator 2/1/2014

Tikal 2010 'Jubilo' (Malbec/Cabernet Sauvignon), Mendoza
Rating: 92(+?)
Saturated bright ruby. Black cherry and
licorice on the nose, plus a hint of tea leaf. Sweet and creamy in the
mouth but with harmonious acidity giving shape and definition to the
concentrated black cherry, dark berry and chocolate flavors. Finishes
with a firm spine of fine chocolatey tannins and fresh acidity. I'd
give this a few years in bottle to express itself more fully.
