CRITICAL ACCLAIM

Vinous - 95 points
The 2020 Malbec Black Tears comes from San Pablo in the Uco Valley. Aged for up to 18 months in French oak barrels, this deep purple-hued wine showcases red and black fruit with a balsamic, mountain herb layer, including menthol, laurel, orange peel and cedar notes. Dry, intense and juicy, it has a smooth, voluminous palate with a soft violet infusion. It's a cushioned Malbec with a plush, attractive texture. -Joaquín Hidalgo, Nov 2024

James Suckling - 94 points
Rich blackberries, blueberries, black pepper, incense, dark chocolate and dried herbs. Flavorful, brooding and concentrated but not forcefully extracted. The tannins are plentiful and polished, showing chalky texture and focus. Rich and long but driven. Drink or hold. - May 2024
