I considered getting a universal one from the Definition series but boy oh boy are those pricey here in Argentina. So here we are.
I decided to inaugurate the new acquisition with this 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon from my home province. After two hours in the decanter it presented some fantastic notes of blackberry and cinnamon, surrounded by the iconic green bell pepper scent this grape is rightly known for. The oak was there but it wasn't particularly invasive.
I will however say that this wine, or at the very least this vintage is probably best enjoyed on the day itself. I saved a bit for today, and the oak went from vanilla to coffee overnight. So much so that it felt like I was drinking a cup of coffee with alcohol!
Very enjoyable experience nevertheless. Even if it the Style isn't the glass I would love to have, it beats the hell out of any of the more regular glasses I've owned to date.
