“Wonderful aromas of dried strawberries, flowers and lemons. Full-bodied with a lovely, fluid center palate that is sweetly fruity and a long, long finish. Love this wine. 72 per cent malbec, 21 per cent bonarda and seven per cent petit verdot. Drink now.” – James Suckling

“A smart buy. Having spent 12 months in French barrels (35% new) the juicy black fruit and leafy aromas contrast with sweet spices and hints of cedar. Concentrated with rich freshness and fine tannins. Drinking Window 2020 – 2027.” – Alejandro Iglesias

“Bright red-ruby. Black cherry, licorice, menthol and smoky minerality on the nose, plus a whiff of chocolatey reduction. Saline and very fine-grained, with medicinal black cherry and menthol flavors lifted by spices and flowers. Rather backward but already showcases the ripeness of the vintage, but with a restrained sweetness. Finishes saline, tactile and suave, with smooth tannins and lingering dark fruits. A lovely vintage for this bottling (an homage to Laura Catena's grandfather Domingo Vicente Catena), which includes some century-old Bonarda vines. Drinking window 2019 – 2025.” – Stephen Tanzer
