A serious malbec showing tarry blackberries, graphite, violet extracts and a wide array of grilled herbs. Thyme, rosemary, iodine and hot stones. The full and intense palate delivers impressive concentration of blackberries and black chocolate. Caressing tannins are really silky but plentiful. Solid and quite long. Drink or hold. (ZS)

The 2019 Malbec Black Tears comes from San Pablo in the Uco Valley and was aged for 18 months in first-use French oak barrels. A rich purple in the glass. The floral nose offers violet, lavender, crushed plum and cherry over a cedar bed. The palate is lean, dry and juicy, with an almost ethereal flow. Finely-grained tannins lead into a nimble, expressive finish. Having tasted this wine since its first release, I’ve watched it evolve over the years into its present incarnation as a precise, high-altitude Malbec as light and refreshing as the mountain air.
