TASTING NOTE: The 2012 Castas de Salvajes Cronos is Malbec, mostly from the Uco Valley from different locations. The full clusters fermented in egg-shaped concrete vats where the wine matured for a bit longer than one year. It is a fresh, juicy red, with aromas of red cherries and a spicy, Burgundian character akin to a Vosne Romanee. The palate is medium-bodied with great freshness and incipient complexity. A great elegant red that is well beyond the expression of the grape variety. Drink now-2019. Score - 93 (Luis Gutierrez, erobertparker.com, April 2014) Price $ 35.95
