"A typically expressive and refined Malbec from the queen of Argentine wine, Susana Balbo, according to Decanter!"

" A rich but fresh Malbec, with generous aromas of ripe black cherries, black olives, and a hint of graphite. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, with ripe fruit, fine tannins, and fresh acidity. Fruity, solid, and medium-length finish. 45,000 cases produced. Drink now." (James Suckling 2025)
