Deep, youthful opaque inky colour with distinctive aromatics of cassis, cassis leaf, black cherries, blueberries and brambles. Extraordinary fruit purity coupled with being distinctly varietal. A complete, concentrated, an attractive wine. Argentinian Cabernet Franc Trophy. Score - 96. (International Wine Challenge, 2023)

80% Malbec, 20% Cabernet Franc. Lovely floral aromas with a smoky character, notes of blueberry and hints of spices. Really delicious, elegant and refined. Score - 93. (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2023)

This shows plums, cherries and milk chocolate on the nose, plus some orange peel. On the palate it's youthful, juicy and full-bodied, with fine, lightly crunchy tannins. Drink now or hold [into early 2030s]. Score - 92. (Claire Nesbitt, jamessuckling.com, March 18, 2025)

The Alta Yari Gran Malbec Calcáreo is a selection of vineyards planted in 2009 on the Alta Yari property, on the Lomas del Jaboncillo, in Gualtallary. A place characterized by its calcium-rich soils at an altitude of more than 1,500 meters. This is a selection of especially calcareous soils - white and stony soils in a block of about three hectares in this corner of the Andes known as Monasterio. Look for the flowers here, the red fruits that appear on the nose, but above all, for those sharp chalky tannins and that saline note toward the finish. A wine full of character that is also generous in its expression from a place as special as this, in the north of the Uco Valley. For the price, there are few wines with so much personality. Score - 99. (Patricio Tapia, guiadescorchados.cl, 2025)
