White	2022 Astica Chardonnay Lujan de Cuyo more	Options Post a Comment View SuperSomm's profile Report Issue 3/19/2024 - SuperSomm Does not like this wine: 78 points Pale lemon colour. Medium (-) and youthful nose with green apples, lime and white flowers. Medium taste of green apples and lime. Short and dry finish. High acidity. Medium body. An acceptable Argentinian Chardonnay that feels a bit green. Drink now. Goes well with salads. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

White	2018 Astica Torrontés Lujan de Cuyo more	Options View 虎哥's profile Report Issue 9/24/2022 - 虎哥 Likes this wine: 86 points Citrus and flower aroma. Even though the colour is yellowish, but it is still fresh. It has a vividly acid and perfect match with seafood and egg. The aftertaste is short. I think that's why it's cheap.

Red	2014 Astica Cabernet Sauvignon Lujan de Cuyo more	Options Post a Comment View cazort's profile Report Issue 2/21/2016 - cazort Likes this wine: 95 points Wow, this was a find, I got it in a bargain bin for $5 and I'm going to hurry back to see if there's any left because it was a steal. This was my favorite Cabernet Sauvignon that I've ever tried that was not in the "too expensive to buy regularly" price range, for someone with my cheap tastes (I usually spend under $15 a bottle). Dry, rich, full-bodied. Pleasantly bitter but low in sourness. Not the most complex aroma, a sort of muted, ripe berry-like aroma. Very clean tasting, exceptionally pleasant to drink. One of my favorite wines that I've tried in a while. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment
White	2014 Astica Chardonnay Lujan de Cuyo more	Options Post a Comment View cazort's profile Report Issue 1/27/2016 - cazort wrote: 78 points I got this in a discount / bargain bin for $5. I don't know what the usual price would be, but looking online I see it listed around $8. Aroma is very yeasty, not very fruity. The alcohol comes out particularly in the finish, which I found awkward. Aroma is pretty simple. It reminds me a lot of the aroma of a typical cheapish-but-decent dry Champagne. There is, unfortunately, one off note in the aroma, I can't describe it easily but it smells stale, like a closet, or old cardboard. It's up front, in the nose, and it is gone in the finish, which I'm grateful for because at least the wine ends on a more positive note, if you don't mind the boozy quality. Flavor is soft, but moderately sour: the sourness feels round rather than sharp. Only a bit of sweetness, and no bitterness, the flavor is pretty flat, with mostly sourness and not much else. I can see this wine pairing well with fresh-baked bread. I almost feel a craving for such bread, when drinking it. Overall, this was drinkable and pleasant, but I've had numerous other wines in this price range (or cheaper) that I prefer. I thought this wine good for a bargain buy of $5 but I would think it a bit overpriced at its normal / full price, and even in the under $5 range I think there are better wines (I like Concha y Toro's Frontera Chardonnay). The alcoholic finish, lack of fruity notes, and lack of complexity in the flavor and aroma were what would lead me to pass on this one if I had another opportunity to buy it.
