| TASTING NOTE: Confirming the shift in style at Chakana, away from oak and higher alcohol towards more elegant, refined Malbecs, this is floral and subtle, sustained by acidity and complemented rather than overwhelmed by vanilla spice. Sappy and refreshing. 2017-2022. (Special Report) Score - 92 (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, 2017) |
