TASTING NOTE: It's well worth trading up from Lunta, however good it is, to this, more serious Malbec. It's a compact, dense, sweetly fruited red with a backbone of tannin and acidity and stylishly judged oak. Has the concentration to age for a while yet. Drink: 2018-23. Score - 93 (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, Argentina Special Report 2017) |
