This elegant blend offers green bell pepper and cherry with a touch of nutmeg and vanilla on the nose. It's full-bodied with firm tannins and vibrant acidity providing a good structure. Fresh red fruit and herbs are nicely blended with baking spices on the silky palate. It has a lingering finish with fruit flavors in the aftertaste.

The 2019 Beso De Dante is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Malbec and 5% Cabernet Franc from Paraje Altamira, La Consulta, Pampa El Cepillo and Gualtallary. The 2019 spent 18 months aging in half new French oak. The ripe nose features plum jam, Maraschino cherry and hints of violet, cedar and vanilla. Juicy with a terse, voluminous texture, the aging process comes to the fore in the mouth alongside expansive, packaged freshness. The finish lingers at length.

The Cabernet Sauvignon that represents 50% of the blend of the 2019 Beso de Dante (the rest is 40% Malbec and 10% Cabernet Franc) was immediately recognizable in the shape of herbal and spicy notes, vibrant acidity and fine-grained tannins. Like many reds here, it combines power and finesse, showing good balance. 36,000 bottles were filled in June 2020.

Aromas of blackberry, plum, tar, licorice, sandalwood and hot stone. It’s full-bodied with firm, ripe tannins. Rich and dense with a smooth, warm finish. Drink from 2022.
