  I taste about 80% of what others here are, but to me, this is boring, fruity, stereotypical Argentinean malbec with no real reason to be made or consumed. Professional enough, but lacking structure, acidity, madness or dirt. Malbec horse beaten to death by consultants saying you've gotta have a hook, you be the malbec place, Uruguay will do the tannat, these countries should make Wine, not money, ok, there's my tantrum

  A wonderful tasting & structured Malbec from a premier producer of Malbecs. Loved the young rich primary black fruits exploding in the palate, the long & silky finish, and the nice balance between the tannins & acidity. Very good value.

  solid high elevation malbec.. dark berry and high acidity. wondering if it needed a little more time in the bottle.. paired well with Duck. finish was medium and it was light on the palate.. great food wine..
