"Lots of tar to the blackberry and dark-fruit aromas here. Wet earth, too. It’s full-bodied and layered with juicy, chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Rich and intense. Structured and powerful. Needs two or three years to soften. Best after 2023."

"The 2019 Q Malbec is a step up after coming from the Serie A Malbec. This is more specific about the origin, which is Valle de Uco, but they select grapes from Paraje Altamira and Los Chacayes for this bottling, where the soils start to deliver some chalky minerality in the wines. There is contained ripeness and fully developed flavors and aromas. It's medium to full-bodied with fine, chalky tannins. It matured in concrete and 30% in 500-liter oak barrels."
Wine Spectator, 91 Points
"This rich red offers a deep well of cherry, dark plum and wild herb flavors that are matched to crisp acidity. Lots of flinty accents midpalate lead to a finish that lingers with cedar and slate. Drink now through 2024."

"Sebastián Zuccardi reaches into the higher altitudes of the Uco Valley—to Vista Flores and La Consulta—to create this bright, cheerful wine. It’s floral and red-fruited, with notes of rose, berries and cream preserved by the vineyards’ cool climate and his light hand in the cellar. Silky in texture, it’s a crowd-pleasing, refreshing malbec."
