Tasting note
Aromas of dark berries like such as blueberries, cassis and blackberries, and floral notes which are the result of the cold year. The subtle calcareous notes add complexity. This Malbec offers good natual acidity and excellent alcohol balance. Good flow of very fine tannins. Compact and intense wine.
In the press
98/100 - Susana Balbo and her team chose Gualtallary for the Nosotros bottling in this warm vintage. There is huge breadth of complexity to the nose with graphite and tarry black and blue fruit. Dark minerals and a hint of cocoa powder and cigar box. Full-bodied and juicy on the palate with lots of broad-shouldered, fine-grained tannins. Intense, concentrated and incredibly persistent. Minerals in the end. Drinkable now, but better from 2026.
