Wine Critic Reviews

Robert Parker The Wine Advocate (96): When to drink: 2021 to 2029

Wine Enthusiast (94): This Malbec has a good balance of fruit and herbs with a delicate structure. The nose displays notes of berries and aromatic herbs that repeat on the palate. A smooth texture and lively acidity hold raspberry, blackberry and blueberry flavors with hints of smoke. It has an elegant finish with subtle notes of chocolate. Drink now–2029.
