93 points Jacobo Garcia-Andrade Llamas (JamesSuckling.com): "This is spicy, with aromas of cedar and fresh dark fruit. The palate is delineated and vibrant, with a forward profile and the delicate veil of fruit that characterizes higher-altitude vineyards. Concentrated, yet subtly expressive of its Uco origins. Drink now. (4/14/25)"
92 points Matthew Luczy (Wine Advocate): "Originating from vines planted in 1996 in alluvial sandy clay soils, the 2023 Appellation La Consulta Malbec offers a savory, supple expression of Uco Valley Malbec. Black-fruited, spice-driven and elegantly creamy aromas introduce a svelte, polished palate that concludes with a saturated, fine-grained finish. Drink: 2024-2028. (May 2025)"
92 points JoaquÃn Hidalgo (Vinous): "The 2023 Malbec Appellation La Consulta from Uco Valley, aged for up to 13 months in oak barrels, unfolds with plum and cherry aromas, a violet note and an undercurrent of oak. Fairly indulgent and grippy yet velvety, it flows juicily on the palate as every old-vines Malbec from la Consulta should. This was well executed in a warm vintage. Drink 2025-2034. (Apr 2025)"
