Clos de los Siete 2011

Bright ruby. Sexy, complex aromas of blackberry, licorice and minerals. Lush and polished, with a restrained sweetness and noteworthy nuance to the flavors of black raspberry and smoky minerality. Shows a deep chocolatey ripeness but nicely maintains its freshness and balance. Really insidious flavor intensity here. Finishes with sweet, ripe tannins and building length. A real essence of Argentina red wine, and a great value. Score - 91. (Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, March/April 2014)
