| TASTING NOTE: The 2015 Malbec Q is sourced from Altamira, Chacayes and Vista Flores in the Valle de Uco, the first year produced exclusively in the new winery. They used some 30% full clusters to ferment in cement vats (without epoxy), with 30% of the wine aged in used 500-liter oak barrels and the rest was kept in cement vats until blending and bottling. There is good ripeness and depth here, a mixture of red and black fruit with some spiciness and hints of rockrose and wild herbs. The palate is medium-bodied, with very nice balance, fine-grained tannins and very good length. It finishes dry with a hit of austerity. There were some 300,000 bottles produced. None of these wines show any oak. Drink Date: 2017-2020. Score - 91 (Luis Gutierrez, robertparker.com, Dec. 30, 2016) |
