Critic reviews
"Rich and profound with graphite, dark fruits, a touch of dark chocolate and a lifted sense of brightness. The palate is full-bodied and mouth-coating yet balanced and lustrous—decadent, showing firm, polished tannins and a thick, seamless veil of fruit. Sourced from selected malbec parcels in both Luján and Uco. Drink now or hold."

"Creamy, black and blue fruits studded with silky tannins and fragrant freshly cut herb aromatics. This is deft and skilful, soft notes of grilled oak, well integrated acidities, appealing and easy to love. Paul Hobbs owner, Diana Fornasero winemaker at this 11ha no-till vineyard. Whole cluster winemaking retains juice and character, from the upper reaches of the Chanares vineyard, granite-dominant soils."

"Potpourri incense aromatics, so floral and fragrant. Thick and glossy, there’s succulence and high acidity with plenty of freshness but there’s also plenty of heft and this delivers a broad and filling palate. On the richer side, despite the cooling, fresh acidity. It’s a showy and confident wine that really delivers plenty of enjoyment. Sticky liquorice on the finish with lashings of oak and bitter chocolate. A Malbec with personality. Easy to like this! Owner Paul Hobbs, winemaker Andres Vignoni."

"(Mendoza; 100% Malbec; 15% alcohol; tasted at the Joanne press tasting). Incense. Pot pourri. Some rose petal. A hint of violet perhaps but aromatically this is a little introvert for now – more so than the 2021 as I recall. Dark cherry and berry fruits, a little damson too. Oyster shell. A deep dark black-hole core of perfectly ripe and plush fruits, beautifully outlined by the super-svelte if considerable tannins. Less immediately appealing than the 2021 and perhaps even more of a vin de garde and with very significant aging potential. This seems eternal on the finish. Serious and holding back its charms for now. I’d like to be the one to re-awaken from its gentle slumber in a decade or two! 98. "
