"This 100% Malbec comes from 90 year old vines, no added commercial yeasts and has been bottled without filtration. Intense and almost black colour with violet hues, has a nose full of black and red fruit aromas and an elegant spiciness with a crispy acidity." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Very dark in color. The nose offers up violet extract, very intense blackberry reduction and lots of creme de cassis. The palate is full-bodied but the fruit isn't as dense as you might expect from the nose. Fresh and very well framed by a firm tannin backbone. Drink know." —JamesSuckling.com "Bright medium ruby. Deep aromas and flavors of blackberry, black cherry, licorice and smoky, flinty minerality convey a touch of youthful reduction. Densely packed and quite primary; sweet and thick but shapely and alive. The serious, thoroughly ripe tannins spread out horizontally to saturate the tongue and palate. This very long, deep wine already boasts compelling sweetness but should be even better in another couple years. For all its texture and depth, this stunning value boasts a weightless quality." —Stephen Tanzer, Vinous "The one unoaked Malbec here, the 2017 Auténtico Malbec pays homage to the wines of the previous owners, the Dávalos family. It represents the pure ripe fruit and is juicy, raw and wild, full of berries, herbs and wild flowers. It's juicy and floral, with soft tannins and texture. 90,000 bottles." —Wine Advocate |
