Reviews
James Suckling 91
Aromas of plums and blueberries, blue flowers, dried herbs and bark. Medium-bodied with a mellow texture and creamy tannins. Classic young malbec. Soft, juicy and delicious with a flavorful finish.

The 2020 Malbec Aguaribay from the Uco Valley was aged 20% in used barrels. Dark purple in hue. It offers aromas of dark fruit such as blackberry and blueberry with hints of herb and chutney along with a layer of white pepper. Indulgent with a good volume that is scuplted by the juice, the dark fruit flavors return at the end.

Tasting notes
Color: Red of good intensity.
Nose: Intense aromas resemble ripe cherries and raspberries that combined with the slight vanilla give elegance and fineness to this wine.
Palate: In mouth, it appears soft and silky, with rounds tannins. It is a wine of a medium structure, thought for a short guard, because the freshness and smoothness are its major virtue.
