The 2021 Malbec Gran Reserva hails from a very old vineyard in La Consulta, in which, here and there, you'll come across Sémillon vines next to the Malbec. Aged for 24 months in new Burgundy barrels, it's purple in the glass. The complex nose features cherry, plum, violets, lavender and cedar (when I tasted it, it had only recently been bottled). Dry, light and juicy on the palate, it's all silky harmony, even with the plush tannins one finds in La Consulta. Bold as every Malbec should be, this is nonetheless a supremely nuanced wine from old vines; always a point of difference. Worth keeping an eye on.
