It is amazing how this wine developed. I really like cono sur wines. The only thing is that the wines need aging. There are readily available (currently sold vintage is 2008), but the current vintages are nice, but mostly fruity wines. They need their time to develop in the bottle. This one is so nice that I am going to have dark chocolate, although very late at night.
