98 points Zekun Shuai (JamesSuckling.com): "Susana Balbo and her team chose Gualtallary for the Nosotros bottling in this warm vintage. There is huge breadth of complexity to the nose with graphite and tarry black and blue fruit. Dark minerals and a hint of cocoa powder and cigar box. Full-bodied and juicy on the palate with lots of broad-shouldered, fine-grained tannins. Intense, concentrated and incredibly persistent. Minerals in the end. Drinkable now, but better from 2026. (11/29/23)"
96 points Patricio Tapia (Descorchados): "2020 was a very warm year in Mendoza. But at 1,300 meters above sea level in Gualtallary, that warmth isn’t as evident, at least not in this malbec cuvée that’s a selection of estate-owned vineyards planted on very poor, stony soils at the foot of the Andes. Like all of the Nosotros wines, this red needs time to express itself in the glass. The 16 months of oak aging (80% new barrels) appear first on the scene, but then the succulent ripe fruit gradually takes center stage. A wine that’s very smooth and fluid, yet with body, too, and full of black fruit and herbal flavors. A malbec for cellaring. (Jan 2024)"
94 points Wine Spectator: "A real head-turner that develops with air, showing dried violet and dark chocolate notes, with balsam details melding with rich blackberry and plum flavors around a rich, savory core. Picks up mineral nuances and stretches out nicely on the broad finish. Malbec. Drink now through 2032. 800 cases made, 100 cases imported. (7/31/23)"
94 points Tim Atkin, MW: "Nómade is the icon red from Susana Balbo and her team, sourced from Los Chacayes since 2021. Intense, focused and firm, it has the backbone and grip of its terroir, stylish, toasty new oak, layers of plum skin, fig and damson, top notes of laurel and mint and the concentration and grip to age in bottle. 2026-2035. (2024)"
