Wine Advocate
The 2011 Reserva Malbec has a strong bouquet of ripe fruit, cured meat and charred oak. The palate has soft tannins, balance and elegance, in a slightly international style. Drink 2014-2017.
Score: 88. —Luis Gutierrez, April 2014.
Wine Enthusiast
Raisiny black-fruit aromas are jammy and a clarion indicator of what’s to come. In the mouth, this Malbec is saturated and chunky, with extreme ripeness. Flavors of raisin, prune and baked berry fruits come with secondary spice and pepper notes. The finish is earthy, heavy and rich but short on vibrancy.
