"A cool vintage, although not as much as 2016, with precision and nuance, floral aromatics, raspberry leaf, black cherry and brambled hedgerow fruit, with tobacco and chamomile flowers, smoky and intense. This vintage sees a new label for the first time since this wine was first released back in 1997, pointing to what makes it so different from many Argentinian Cab-Malbec blends (ungrafted pre-phylloxera vines, whole cluster vinification, massal selection programme leading to the diversity of their DNA). 50% new oak for ageing. Alejandro Vigil winemaker. Tasted twice." (06/2024)

"Blackcurrant and damsons on the nose with pink peppercorns - really quite a unique aroma to this wine. Floral and fruity, wide and long, this has excellent freshness and sense of brightness straight away. Super tannins, although there’s no hiding from the power exuding from this wine. The texture fills the mouth, fleshy and ripe, and leave such a lingering hold. Chewy and wide, but really enjoyable with a well-made aspect. Polished but powerful with a load of spiced, minty and savoury touches on the finish; liquorice, black chocolate, eucalyptus and clove. Extremely tasty. Director Laura Catena, winemakers Alejandro Vigil and Fernando Buscema." - Georgina Hindle (07/2025)

"Impressively impactful. So intense and vivid. An upwardly pointed firehose of damson and dark berry fruits. Graphite. Black pepper and Szechuan peppercorns. Iris. This is gorgeous on the entry and intensely floral again. Narrow in frame and very vertical and profound in its depth. Truly excellent. Black cherry perfection. Generous. Long and rippling as the tannins engage on the sapid finish. A little like the 2021 and different from earlier vintages. There’s a lovely purity to this." - Colin Hay (03/2026)
