"The 2008 Monteviejo has a floral bouquet of crushed violets, black cherry and black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied, with a velvety attack, good acidity and remarkable purity. Rounded and sensual, with seductive notes and a long finish. A beautiful Argentine red. Drink through 2017." (Wine Advocate 2012 - Robert Parker). A must-try!
