| TASTING NOTE: Like the Ben Marco Malbec, this wine can't be faulted for lack of ambition. It's a blend of grapes from Gualtallary and Los Arboles, built to age in bottle. Compact and quite firm, it shows notes of mint, capsicum and blackcurrant, with an overlay of French oak. Needs time. 2017-2024. Score - 92 (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, Argentina 2016 Special Report) |
