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

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

About the wine:
Abundant red and blue fruit with a touch of stone fruit and subtle spices. Juicy and firm on the palate, with medium to full body and fresh, fine tannins. Long, fruity finish. For drinking or cellaring.
