Riccitelli 'Vineyard Selection' Malbec 2018

95 POINTS: James Suckling
94 POINTS: Vinous Media

"Blackberry, crushed-stone, lavender and iodine aromas follow through to a medium to full body with very refined, polished tannins that provide balance and refinement. Such purity and beauty. Beautiful old-vine malbec. Subtle is the word to describe this."
 - James Suckling

"The 2018 Malbec Viejos Viñedos En Pie Franco is made with grapes from Las Compuertas and Vistalba, Luján de Cuyo and aged for 16 months in French
barrels. A terroir-focused red, the expression is precisely judged, offering ripe plum with hints of white pepper and cherry over a bed of violets and oak. In
the mouth, it offers muscle without pressing too hard, a broad, voluminous flow and well-judged freshness that ensures a long finish in which the fruit takes
charge. Will improve in the bottle."
