But, sir, this passport is genuine. This Argentino Bordeaux blend may have you suspecting “cabernet fauxvignon” but it’s very good. Nose upon decorking was shoe leather, but flavor notes included blackcurrant, spice and licorice. Label says it was aged in barrels for 12 months but I’m not picking up much oak; steel maybe? Tannins are still a bit tight given the vintage. I think this is as good as it will get, so drink now. Grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot.
