Dante Robino Bonarda, 2008

This bottle was our second choice at "Bo Bo" in Soho Palermo: we needed a lighter body red and I wanted to try an decent Argentine Bonarda for a while (it is actually charbono grape, called bonarda in Argentina).
Both restaurant and the wine were kind of disappointing... Our food was good but nothing to brag about, and the bottle .... well it's all subjective... but for me the combination of sweat, barnyard and sweet, red fruit in the bouquet was not happening. Some yogurt or other lactic undertones were present. Simple cherry and oak mouth, little vanilla in the finish. I read some reviews of the same bottle from older vintages, looks like it ages well toward chocolate and raspberry. 35 AR$
