A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: The 2017 Appellation Lunlunta Malbec is from a slightly riper year and has higher alcohol and a little less acidity. But the wine keeps its poise and harmony, showing very classical, perfumed and with volume. Power and elegance. Drink date: 2018-2023. Score - 92 (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, June 29, 2018) |
