Description

    • Critic tasting note: (2012 vintage) “A wine that builds on the palate with super blackberry and stone character. Full and chewy with polished and lively tannins. Turns spicy, peppery and minerally on the finish. Only 3,500 bottles made. Made from a finca (single vineyard) in Altamira. Drink or hold.” – James Suckling

  • 2012 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2015
    Initially this is a touch jumpy and nervy smelling, but with airing it shows elegant blueberry, cassis and mineral notes that aren’t just big and brawny. A flush, bold mouthfeel delivers on the promise of the bouquet, while ripe plum, blackberry, pepper, herb and saline flavors finish savory and dark, with chocolaty notes and ripped muscularity. Drink this staunch Malbec from 2017 94pts
