Benchmark Argentinian producer Achaval-Ferrer was the first winery in Argentina to achieve a 100 point score from The Wine Advocate.
This is really special for 2014 with dried mushrooms, flowers and dark-berry character on the nose. Full-bodied yet refined and dense. Very polished tannins and fruit depth. Fantastic finish of burnt oranges and ripe fruit yet everything's always fresh and vivid. Drink now or hold.
95 points James Suckling jamessuckling.com Jun, 2017
(14.5% alcohol; 14 hectoliters per hectare produced; from vines in excess of 70 years old; aged for 13 months in new French oak; all three of these single-vineyard wines did their malolactic fermentation in oak): Bright medium ruby. A bit blacker as well as more floral and medicinal than the Bella Vista, offering scents of blackberry, boysenberry, black cherry, violet and spices; conveys a crushed-fruit urgency as well as a touch of reduction. At once penetrating and seamless; less pliant and open to inspection than the Belle Vista, with its acidity more apparent today. But there's still plenty of flavor intensity here for the future. A more medicinal, reserved, even clenched style--the least accessible of this trio today--but still without any rough edges. Finishes with smooth tannins and lovely aromatic lift.
