Achaval Ferrer Malbec 2018 (750ML)

92 Points, Joaquin Hidago, VInous: "Made with grapes from Paraje Altamira and Los Chacayes, two renowned GIs in the Uco Valle, this Malbec spent 15 months in used French barrels. Profound violet in the glass. The combination of terroirs makes for very intense aromas including thyme, blueberry, plum and violet. Refreshing in the mouth, the intense flavors and polished tannins are key to the lengthy finish." 10/20

92 Points, James Suckling, James Suckling.com: "Attractive cassis and blueberry aromas here with a swathe of crushed violet flowers. The palate has a very supple and smooth core of fresh red plums that offer a fleshy and smooth ride to the finish. Drink or hold." 03/19
