This 2021 Malbec contains 10% Cabernet Franc from the hillsides of Gualtallary in the Uco Valley. After fermenting in new oak barrels, it opens with delicate notes of violet and fresh plum, enhanced by subtle herbaceous touches. Compact yet expressive, its juicy palate reveals notes of plum and licorice, with a balanced and seductive aromatic profile. The light texture of this wine, which reveals pure floral nuances in a long and elegant finish, makes it a true benchmark. 2025-2040" (Vinous 2024)

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Wine rating (2022 guide) 93/100 (Outstanding wine)
About wine:
The very young 2021 Malbec follows in the footsteps of the restraint, balance, harmony, and elegance found in the 2019, which I tasted alongside it. It is a carefully crafted Malbec, with varietal typicity, enhanced by a touch of Cabernet Franc, and always with very careful use of oak to respect the typicity of the grape variety and terroir. It is mineral and stony, with a dry, long finish. 35,000 bottles were bottled in July 2022. 2023-2029

About wine:
Abundant red and blue fruits with a hint of stone fruit and subtle spices. Juicy and firm on the palate, with medium to full body and fresh, fine tannins. Fairly long and fruity finish. Drink now or cellar.
