Wine Critic Reviews
Patricio Tapia - Descorchados (92): The grapes for this wine come from vineyards that are an average of 40 years old, all from La Consulta, especially from stony soils on the south-east bank of the Tunuyán River, in the Uco Valley. This is a red wine with a delicious fruity expression, very fresh and juicy, with floral and herbal tones. The tannins are firm and accompanied by acidity that vibrates in the mouth. This is an example of a modern malbec, tense and hard, with a slight sweetness that gives it charm.
