A full-bodied and expressive malbec with 5% cabernet sauvignon. Minerals, black cherries and cool blue fruit. A touch of cocoa powder, but there is nothing plush. Concentrated but austere, with tons of juicy fruit and dusty tannins treading into a long, bright finish. Fermented in concrete and aged 24 months in foudres. Drink or hold [into mid-2030s]. Score - 96. (Zekun Shuai, jamessuckling.com, Feb. 6, 2024) A full-bodied and expressive malbec with 5% cabernet sauvignon. Minerals, black cherries and cool blue fruit.
