96 Points James Suckling

Perfumed aromas of violets, lavender, blueberries, cassis and spiced cherries. Herbs and praline, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, powdery tannins and fresh acidity, despite the richness. Concentrated with a long, chewy finish. Such a beauty already, but better in 2024.

 

93 Points  Wine Enthusiast

The enticing nose shows aromas of plum, blackberry, baking spices, and rosemary. On the full-bodied palate, there are plenty of blackberry and blueberry flavors with a light note of herbs and vanilla. The intense flavors are lifted by lively acidity ending in a lingering finish with subtle oaky notes in the aftertaste. This wine presents a fresher juicy Malbec profile than previous vintages.
