Wines from Argentina Grand Vin 2006 with 92 points.

Wines from Argentina

The eye observes a deep red ruby color with intense violet highlights. The nose perceives jammy aromas of red mature fruits, nuts, leather and chocolate. On the pallet it is very intense thanks to it`s mature tannins. It is well-structured, harmonic with a very long and persistent finish.


Got 92 pts by Robert Parker, Jr.'s The Wine Advocate #192Antucura’s 2006 Gran Vin is composed of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Malbec, and 5% Merlot (in consultation with Michel Rolland) and was aged in new French oak for 16 months. Medium purple in color, it offer up an alluring perfume of wood smoke, cherry blossom, incense, Asian spices, cassis, boysenberry, and black cherry. Concentrated on the palate with layered fruit and potential complexity, this impeccably balanced effort will unfold for several more years and provide pleasure through 2020.
