Critic Notes - Vintage 2024
92 Points | James Suckling — Earthy and savory on the nose, with dark olives and blackberries. The palate is dense and focused, framed by creamy tannins and vibrant fruit. A generous layer of ripe fruit carries through the mid-palate, building toward a bold, lingering finish. Drink now or hold.

Expert Review - Prior Vintages 2023. 2022
James Suckling 91 Points | A rich but fresh malbec with bountiful ripe black cherries, dark olives and a touch of graphite. Medium- to full-bodied with ripe fruit, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Fruity in the solid, medium-length finish. (Vintage 2023).
Wine Advocate 91 Points | Tasting the 2022 Crios Malbec next to the new organic one, it was easy to see how this wine from the Valle de Uco (from Los Chacayes, Vista Flores, Los Árboles and Gualtallary Sur) is subtler and has a different point of balance despite having very similar parameters. Here, 40% of the volume spends eight months in used French oak barrels, but there is no aromatic influence of the élevage. It's fresh, balanced and juicy but with a little more austerity and fine-grained tannins. Clean, approachable and tasty. (Vintage 2022).
