94(+?) Points | International Wine Cellar , January 2012

(from 80+-year-old malbec vines planted at 3,400 feet, and a yield of just 12 hectoliters per hectare):  Saturated, bright medium ruby.  Deep, pure aromas of blackberry, violet, minerals and bitter chocolate complicated by a loamy nuance.  Suave and intense but youthfully imploded today; not at all a thick style even if it's utterly seamless from day one.  Strong acidity spine gives this infant a powerful backbone for aging, but there's little in the way of early sweetness today.  After three days in the recorked bottle, this was an essence of blackberry, showing almost painful fruit intensity and remaining remarkably fresh.  A superb cellaring candidate.
