"The 2022 Malbec Terroir Valle de Uco leads with an open-knit, dark-fruited bouquet of purple flowers and fresh herbs that is typical of Uco Valley Malbec. The palate is plush and saturated yet retains a taut, focused core, concluding with a rich, elegantly structured and stony finish that continues to unwind with aeration. This isa remarkably overperforming expression of contemporary Argentine Malbec."

"The 2022 Malbec Terroir Valle de Uco features aromas of ripe plum along with delicate violet and balsamic herbal nuances. On the palate, it is indulgent and expansive, with fine tannins and a medium body. It has enticing tension, leading to a juicy and vibrant finish. It's youthful, with potential for further development."

"Black fruit, violets, tobacco and cloves on the nose, followed by a firm, full-bodied palate with tight-grained tannins. Toasty but elegant. Drink or hold."

"Fruity nose of cassis, candied cherries, milk chocolate and sweet spices. Medium-bodied with powdery tannins. Fruity, yet it has some texture and stony character at the center and more blue fruit and violets at the end. Drink now."
