TONY ASPLER / 87-points - Spicy, cedary, vanilla oak with a floral note; medium-bodied, dry, promises more on the nose than the palate delivers: dry, red plum flavour with lively acidity.

TASTING NOTE: The extremely floral and aromatic, cool-climate 2013 Quimay Malbec is sourced from a vineyard planted in the early 1990s in Neuquén, in Patagonia, in Southern Argentina where the chalk-rich soils produce tasty, savory and concentrated Malbecs. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with very fine tannins showing austerity, good balance and concentration. This is a serious, harmonious Malbec.
