"Fruity nose of cassis, candied cherries, milk chocolate and sweet spices. Medium-bodied with powdery tannins. Fruity, yet it has some texture and stony character at the center and more blue fruit and violets at the end. Drink now."

"The 2022 Malbec Terroir Valle de Uco features aromas of ripe plum along with delicate violet and balsamic herbal nuances. On the palate, it is indulgent and expansive, with fine tannins and a medium body. It has enticing tension, leading to a juicy and vibrant finish. It's youthful, with potential for further development."

"Black fruit, violets, tobacco and cloves on the nose, followed by a firm, full-bodied palate with tight-grained tannins. Toasty but elegant. Drink or hold."

"The 2020 Malbec Altos Terroir Valle de Uco is a good expression of the Uco Valley terroir. Aged for 18 months in concrete vats, with an additional 25% inÿfoudres. It's a vivid purple in the glass. The nose offers ripe notes of plum and red berry jam, complemented by herb and graphite hints. It has a dry, medium-bodied profile. The tannins and chalky texture contribute to a compact mouthfeel that focuses the flavors nicely before the lingering, ripe fruit finish."
