93 Points, Vinous – 92 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate
Longtime Argentinian correspondent Luis Guiterrez said the wines at Escorihuela Gascón are “getting better and better every year.” High praise, considering their storied reputation. Their first organic, vegan, and biodynamic wine, the 1884 Organic Single-Vineyard Malbec Escorihuela, is downright delicious, so it’s no surprise that it sent shockwaves throughout the Malbec community. Parker’s Wine Advocate gave the wine a 92-point score, a huge score considering today’s price tag. But Antonio Galloni’s Vinous echoed Parker’s admiration, going a point further with a 93-point review. Vinous called the wine “bold and juicy with a taut profile and well-defined, long-lasting flavor.”
95 Points (Gold Medal), 2022 Decanter Wine Awards
The expert reviews on this incredible new release from Herve Fabre are insane. 90 points and a ‘Best Buy’ designate from Wine Enthusiast, 90 more from Suckling. Ditto from Vinous who called this “young, firm, with well-worked tannins and good structure”. But in a crowded see of nearly 20,000 wines at the Decanter Wine Awards in 2022 – this stole the show. The only 95-point, Gold medal Cabernet that you can get for under $20/bottle, its second straight year in the most rarified air.
92 Points, Vinous – 91 Points, Wine & Spirits
“The 2021 Malbec Reserva, from Vistalba, Lujan de Cuyo, was 60% aged in barrels for 12 months. Purple in color. The nose presents notes of fresh plum and violets, white pepper, strawberry, hints of spice and aromas from the aging process. It’s initially indulgent in the mouth, with good fat, and volume and a velvety texture. The flavors are bold and full-bodied. This 2021 overdelivers at the price.” -Vinous
