2005 Pasodoble ($ 9 - 10 range, ?)
From: Argentina
Grapes: 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Malbec, and 33% Syrah.
Color: dark purple.
On the nose: Reduction of plums and figs.
On the palate: Black currants, Blackberries, blueberries, and cedar. There also is a brussel sprout taste in there. It has silky tannins and medium weight, but a bit of an alcohol bite on the back end.

Comments: I found a case of this in the cellar recently. I remember when I first ran across it several years ago I was very impressed with it. Big nose and flavor. It came off as a little hot on the end tonight, which usually means the alcohol is a bit high. I think it would go well with barbecue or a lamb stew. My wife found it too hot and the tannins too bitter.
My rating: 5
