March 7, 2022 - Luca old vine 2015
Malbec de Mendoza, on est dans le fruit rouge avec épice et chocolat. L’acidité est juste parfaite avec les tannins poudreux. C’est vraiment élégant comme vins! Certainement en reprendre dans les prochains millésimes. Servit avec bavette de boeuf.
October 31, 2021 - Better
June 19, 2020 - Pas méchant, approchable et simple, aucune lourdeur avec
une certaine fraicheur. Bien.
January 13, 2020 - Très bonne comme Malbec mais encore un peu trop jeune, il a besoin d'encore 1-2 ans (2021-2022) afin d'être pleinement épanoui. Belles notes subtiles de poivre et grosse mûres frappantes, mais encore trop acide et pas assez rond.
September 22, 2019 - Inky and big, with primary notes of ripe plum and vanilla on the nose and palate. A welcomed tannic bite provides lift through the medium finish. Simple.
August 8, 2019 - Not too good
July 12, 2019 - Not bad - not worth the price. To be fair, I'm not a fan of Malbec.
June 30, 2019 - Loved it. Very smooth finish with no aftertaste
June 11, 2019 - Tastes of not fully ripe red berries and is a bit tart. I’m not getting any of the dark fruit flavors that the pro reviewers seem to be experiencing. The finish here is also a bit short. Not sure if this just needs more time in the bottle, but I’m not quite feeling this one.
May 31, 2019 - This wine hails from the Uco Valley in the Mendoza region of Argentina. vines average 50yrs old and are planted at 3,500ft.
12 months in new French & second use French barrels.
Magnificent deep purple color.
Ripe dark fruit aromas with notes of smoke & mocha.
On the palate, concentrated flavors of blackberry, black plum & raspberry with hints of spice & vanilla. Medium acidity & tannins. The medium+ finish leaves you feeling like you just ate a luscious raspberry jelly drenched in chocolate.
Malbec is never my choice when looking for a red but every time I drink one I love it.
