Finca El Origen Malbec Gran Reserva 2015

Vinous 90 points - Bright ruby-red. High-toned blackcurrant and licorice aromas are complicated by an herbal element. Dense, sweet dark berry fruit is framed and intensified by well-integrated acidity. Not yet hugely complex but offers a lovely sugar/acid balance and the stuffing to support its broad, ripe tannins. This generous Malbec has the structure for mid-term aging..July/2017

James Suckling 92 points - Hot stone and blueberry character on the nose. Medium to full body, medium chewy tannins and a savory finish. A year of bottle aging will bring this around beautifully..June/2017

Decanter 94 points - Spiced blackberry fruit nose with subtle vanilla and clove spice notes. Concentrated minty palate with ripe, rounded tannins. A punchy wine!.May/2017
