93 points Zekun Shuai (JamesSuckling.com): "A fruity nose of cherries, mulberries, dried herbs, ashtray and iodine. Medium- to full-bodied with a flavorful palate and fine-grained tannins. Lots of ripe fruit, but not in excess. Drink now or hold. (9/13/24)"
92 points Joaquín Hidalgo (Vinous): "The 2021 Blend Amancaya is 69% Malbec and 31% Cabernet Sauvignon from Altamira & Agrelo, Mendoza, aged 12 months - 50% in French oak barrels and 50% in concrete vats. Dark purple in hue. The fruit-forward nose delivers notes of plums, sour cherry and a faint trace of ash over a layer of oak. Plush and juicy, the balanced flow has finely-grained tannins and a velvety texture. Delicate and savory, it ends with a whiff of thyme. Drink: 2023-2032. (Jun 2023)"
92 points Alejandro Iglesias (Decanter): "Ruby-red in hue with purple highlights, the wine has a restrained, refined character featuring notes of forest berries, cherry jam, violets, blackberry, liquorice, and graphite. On the palate, it’s vibrant but balanced, with a medium body and polished, juicy tannins. Amancaya 2021 is a red blend – 69% Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon – for which Bodegas Caro has sourced grapes from Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley. Half of the blend was aged for 12 months in oak barrels. Ideal with lamb and other meats. Drinking Window: 2024-2027. (10/31/23)"
