Soft and round, but not too plush. Nice nose of plum, cassis, blackberry, and musk, with a lingering dried lavender. Just enough grip and structure to keep things interesting. Hurrah, normally I vastly prefer Cahors Malbec, but this showed beautifully.

Been a year since last bottle and still a beautiful representation of the Malbec grape. Starting to taste some age so will drink these up in the near term. Still 4.3 stars.

Right up front, I'm usually not a big fan of Malbec. I don't get a lot of complexity out of most, just a lot of over the top fruitiness/jam. I think I found my exception to the rule with this 2019 Susana Balbo offering. This is a really nicely balanced wine with mostly ripe black fruits, a hint of licorice, somewhat gentle yet present tannins and medium low acidity.

My last bottle. Still delicious. Just bought 2020 vintage today.

Probably the most impressive Malbec I have had. Should try their barrel fermented signature Torrontes too.
