What The Critics Say
93/100 Tim Atkin MW
"Freshness, freshness, freshness” is Roberto de la Mota’s aim in this comparatively large volume Malbec from 1928 vines in Mayor Drummond. Juicy, sappy and aromatic, it has restrained, elegant one-third new oak, bramble, raspberry and black cherry fruit, smooth tannins and engaging zip and palate length. 2023-2030"
92/100 Vinous, Joaquín Hidalgo
"The 2021 Malbec is sourced from Luján de Cuyo. Aged 12 months in French oak barrels, this purplish wine features plum and white pepper aromas alongside a layer of oak. Dry, rich and velvety, the balanced palate persists on the fruit tones with a faintly taut character. This is a delicate and tasteful Luján Malbec." Drink 2024 - 2032
92/100 James Suckling
"Pretty nose of crushed raspberries, fresh blueberries, plums, lavender and honey. Creamy and juicy, with a full body and powdery tannins. Pretty fruit on a long and pure finish. Drink or hold."
