Malbec Old Vines 2020

- 92 points -

The 2020 Malbec Old Vine (from La Consulta, Paraje Altamira and Pampa El Cepillo, Uco Valley) was aged for 14 months in 35% new French barrels. Purple in the glass. The nose offers fresh plum notes even in a warm year with hints of blackberry jam and touches of oak and cedar. Indulgent and expansive on the palate with a lactic, languorous flow, the freshness is precise and the flavors linger long during the rich, fruity finish. A well-made, old school wine.
