97 Points James Suckling Toasty oak gives lots of sweet-spice and chocolate character here, followed by blackberries, blueberries and hints of nori, flint and violet extract. Really precise on the palate, showing ripe but freshly crushed blueberries and flowers. Really long, focused finish. Give it a year to let the oak settle, even if it drinks effortlessly now.
93 Points Wine Enthusiast
This red comes from vineyards planted in 1910 in Perdriel, Luján de Cuyo. It starts off with a subtle nose of cherry and nutmeg. The palate shows meaty plum and cherry, with wellintegrated flavors of oak spice supported by silky tannins and balancing acidity. Earthy notes of cocoa linger in the after taste.
91 Points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The showy 2018 Malbec Finca Bella Vista shows a similar profile as the rest of the single-vineyard bottlings, as they follow a similar process: picking ripe fruit from low-yielding old vines and aging in brand new oak, and both things seem to have a big impact in the profile of the wine. It’s ripe and concentrated with notes of dry herbs and abundant and slightly dusty tannins.
