Tasting note

From new plantings in Gualtallary, the 2014 Malbec has increased the proportion of fruit coming from this cool place to make it approximately a 50/50 blend of Malbec fruit from Gualtallary and La Consulta, both in the Valle de Uco. There is a big jump in precision and harmony along with more freshness and elegance. The expansive palate has great depth and fruit with very good freshness. This could well be the best vintage of Luca Malbec and I think the best might be yet to come, as the new vineyard matures. Drink Date: 2015-2019. Score - 93.

This dry and purplish red coloured red showcases a complex nose releasing woody, empyreumatic, spicy, floral and fruity scents. You will be charmed with this full-bodied wine revealing a broad texture, firm tannins and a long finish.

This pours youthful black purple. It has terrific nose of ripe, compressed blackberry-mulberry jam laced with well-proportioned licorice mocha. It's full bodied, fairly dense and firm with considerable sweet oak pooling on the mid-palate. Well-structured tannin frames the finish but the fruit oak pour through, to excellent length. You could age this a year or three, but the fruit is so charming now. 91 Points Wine Align. 92 Points Wine Advocate; 92 Points Natalie MacLean
