CRIOS |
| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Intense, bright, very spicy, plum-cherry nose with some cedary notes. Fairly dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, juicy, plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, slightly cedary, faintly herbal finish. A repeat of the 2014 (**) released on October 31, 2015 at $14.95. TONY ASPLER / 87-points - Concentrated, savoury nose of black fruits; medium-bodied; fruity savoury-herbal flavours of blackberry and blueberry. Has 14.5% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number L15A30 05/02/16 on the back label. Beware - this batch was bottled well after the review posted in the Vintages Catalogue. |

| TASTING NOTE: The 2014 Crios Malbec is now sourced exclusively from different zones in the Uco Valley and in the future the label will mention it. They define this wine as lush with hints of spices. It has a floral-driven nose, with, yes, hints of spices, but no traces of oak, only a lactic twist, perhaps from the malolactic fermentation; part of the blend is never in contact with oak and is produced exclusively in stainless steel. Juicy, with those telltale Malbec round tannins ... A champion in its price range. Drink: 2015-2017. Score - 89 (Luis Gutierrez, erobertparker.com, Aug. 2015) |
