- Score: 89 Vintage 2018 Vinous The 2018 Blend Malma Universo is a 60/40 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec from San Patricio del Chañar, Neuquén. It was 61% aged in new barrels for up to 12 months. The nose offers gentle notes of blackcurrant with hints of pepper and jam over faint aromas from the aging process. The tannins are sharpened by a kick of alcohol that lends energy and rugged character. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 88 Vintage 2015 Vinous A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon with 40% Malbec, 60% aged for up to 12 months in French barrels. Terracotta red in the glass. The unusual nose offers notes of almond cookie, leather, tobacco leaf and oak. Intense and concentrated on the palate. The tannins are shaped and made a little dry by the wood, which is energized by a powerful alcoholic kick. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 89 Vintage 2009 Vinous A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon with 60% Malbec, 60% aged in new barrels for up to 12 months. Red with a purple sheen. The relatively complex nose offers notes of black currant, plum and oak and a hint of rose petal. The satisfying palate delivers angular tannins and a saline, tartaric backdrop, while the wood returns at the end. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
