Fabre Montmayou Gran Reserva Malbec 2022

94 Points, Descorchados
For the Gran Reserva, the old vineyards established more than 100 years ago at a property they have in Vistalba, beside the Mendoza River. With a relatively early harvest in late March and a rather cool year, this wine is juicy and refreshing, with a lot of tart red fruits in a dense and powerful body, with firm tannins and long flavors. A big wine that deserves to be cellared for at least five years.

94 Points, James Suckling
Blackberries, dark chocolate and a touch of geraniums and herbs on the nose. Juicy and chewy on the palate with a medium body and a tight, medium-length finish. Drink from 2025.

Fabre Montmayou has one of the largest heritages in old vineyards in Mendoza, old vines planted in the beginning of the 20th century in Vistalba, surrounding the winery and on the north bank of the Mendoza River. They use a selection of this material to obtain the grapes for this malbec that’s deep in flavor, soft in tannins, balanced in every aspect, and full of fruit and flowers. A little lesson on what a malbec from the so-called first zone—the historic area of Mendozan cabernet—should be.
