| TASTING NOTE: The 2011 Malbec is produced from low-yielding, almost centenary vines in La Consulta, in the south of the Uco Valley aged for 14 months in new French oak barrels and is a big jump from the Catalpa. It has much better integrated oak, more depth of fruit, good balance and freshness, with notes of ripe plums, violets and blueberries with a spicy touch and medium to full-bodied, ripe and long. This is a great Malbec at a great price, drinkable, but should also age well. Highly recommended. Drink now-2018. Score - 93 (Luis Gutierrez, erobertparker.com, April 2014) |
