93 points Tim Atkin, MW: "Two vineyards in the upper and lower parts of Los Chacayes are the source of this delicate, floral, understated Malbec, which is the sort of thing that would delight Pinot Noir drinkers. Smooth, supple and perfumed, with rose petal and raspberry notes, filigree tannins and a whisper of oak. 2024-2030. (2022)"

93 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Calcáreo Río de los Chacayes comes from sandy soils and rive stones. It fermented in 5,000-liter oak cask and 3,000-liter amphorae concrete and then matured in the cask for one winter. It's ripe at 14.3% alcohol and rounder, with more fruit and softer tannins, an easier wine that is less mineral and gentler. 6,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2021. Drink: 2022-2027. (11/30/22)"

93 points Zekun Shuai (JamesSuckling.com): "Ripe black cherries, blackberries and a touch of dark spices. Fine-grained and firm on the palate with dusty tannins and a medium to full body. Generous fruit, but well-balanced and tight. Drink or hold. (2/1/24)"
