Luigi Bosca Tasting Notes
The grapes obtain great complexity, structure and personality from the limy soil and the immense expresision of aromas come from the soil containg granite. It is a wine which has an intense red garnet color with purple hints. It is strong and robust, with great structure, very good body and balanced. It is unctuous and has prominent aromas related to black fruit, ripe plums, blackberries, and a refined bouquet of violets. In the mouth it has a velvety finish.

Wine Advocate
The flagship wine and the star of an impressive portfolio is the 2005 Icono, a blend of 54% Malbec and 46% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine received a ?200% new oak? elevage over 18 months. Amazingly, the wine has fully integrated all the oak with the nose revealing smoke, scorched earth, creosote, black cherry, and blackberry. On the palate, this opulent, succulent effort combines power and elegance while hiding enough tannin to support a decade of evolution in the cellar. Its pure finish lingers for over a minute. Drink this exceptional effort from 2015 to 2035 although its impeccable balance may extend this drinking window even further. —Jay Miller, 95 points
