Wine from Argentina

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2007 Poesia has a more pastille-like bouquet with vivacious small dark cherries, blueberry and a touch of boysenberry that exudes more minerality than previous vintages. The palate is medium-bodied and very elegant...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: Beautiful dark fruit and raspberry character. Full body, velvety tannins and bright fruit. Pretty and drinkable. A pure and delicious wine. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The purple-colored 2006 Poesia, sourced from an 80-year-old vineyard in Lujan de Cuyo, was barrel fermented and aged for 18 months in new French oak. It is a blend of 60% Malbec and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. It exhibits a...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: Gorgeous aromas of dark fruit, spices and plums. Medium body, firm and silky tannins and a savory aftertaste. Drink now.

Decanter, 91 points: Founded in 1831 and bought by Donald Hess in 2001, this is not only Argentina's oldest winery but also the owner of some exceptional high altitude vineyards - in fact the highest in the world at 3,111 metres above sea...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: I also tasted the 2014 Gran Enemigo Gualtallary Single Vineyard, which might take some months to come into the market. It has some balsamic aromas, medicinal hints, traces of orange peel, saffron and a touch of sweet...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The top of the range, the 2013 Decero Amano Remolinos Vineyard is superb in a fresh vintage like 2013. This time the blend was 65% Malbec, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot and 3% Tannat. The élevage might sound a...

jamessuckling.com, 91 points: Big morello cherry and blueberry fruit as well as hints of earth and spices (and restrained oak!). Moderately tannic. A clean finish. Rather fascinating. Easy to drink now.

jamessuckling.com, 90 points: Fascinating aromas of dried flowers and dark currants. Full to medium body with bright fruit and a delicate finish. Turns to chocolate and sweet tobacco. Drink now.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The 2013 Malbec Catena Zapata Nicasia Vineyard is produced with grapes from the vineyard that names it--a vineyard planted in 1997 in the Altamira zone of Valle de Uco. It's mostly Malbec with some 4% Cabernet Franc, but...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The insultingly young 2015 J Alberto is the most backward of the three wines I tasted on this occasion. It comes from four hectares of vines planted in 1955 with an ungrafted massale field blend selection, mostly Malbec...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: This is a ringer for a top Chinon. A crazy blend of malbec, cab franc and pinot noir. And it's made in concrete amphoras that are buried in the same vineyard. Very crazy wine. Full body, silky and rich with so much plum...

Vinous, 93 points: (from vines at 10,200 feet above sea level, on soil rich in calcaire and granite): Saturated dark ruby. Superripe, even slightly porty aromas of black cherry, beefsteak tomato, roasted plum and chocolate. Extremely dense...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Blackberry and blueberry aromas with hints of spice and bark. Perfumed. Full body, layered, chewy and polished. Deep and beautiful with so much dark fruit and intensity. Stone and chalk at the finish. Powerful. Drink in...
