Aggressive and oaky, with lactic aromas as well as heavy burnt-toast notes. This is Trapiche's flagship blend of Cabernet and Malbec, and every year it seems less than up to its price. The '03 version is tart in the middle, with a ton of tannin and raw wood. Maybe it'll round into form with time in the cellar. But maybe not. Imported by Frederick Wildman & Sons, Ltd.
