TASTING NOTE: The spectacular 2018 Críos Malbec is aromatic, floral and expressive, varietal and clean, with structure and fine tannins, with nice balance. It's velvety and juicy, with very focused flavors and a long finish. It's among the best Críos I remember. Great value too. Drink date: 2019-2021. Score - 91 (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, Oct. 31, 2019) |
