What the critics say
91/100 Vinous, Joaqu?n Hidalgo
"A Malbec from old vines in Mayor Drummond, Luj?n de Cuyo, that spent 12 months aging in one-third new and two-thirds used oak. Bright purple in the glass. The nose features candied plum and jam and hints of pepper and allspice, as well as tomato preserve, vanilla and herbs. Concentrated, substantial and well-balanced,enhanced by the active tannins, which also deepen the profile. Well made in a ripe style." Drink 2020 - 2028
93/100 Wine Enthusiast, Michael Schackner (2017 vintage)
"Great midtier value is found in this full-force Malbec from a powerful vintage. A blueberry pie aroma is ripe to the max, alongside a whiff of graphite. The fully extracted palate bursts with cassis and berry flavors, while the more this breathes, the less heavy it seems." Drink 2019 - 2028
