95 points Joaquín Hidalgo (Vinous): "The 2020 Malbec Black Tears comes from San Pablo in the Uco Valley. Aged for up to 18 months in French oak barrels, this deep purple-hued wine showcases red and black fruit with a balsamic, mountain herb layer, including menthol, laurel, orange peel and cedar notes. Dry, intense and juicy, it has a smooth, voluminous palate with a soft violet infusion. It's a cushioned Malbec with a plush, attractive texture. Drink 2025-2035. (Nov 2024)."

94 points James Suckling: "Rich blackberries, blueberries, black pepper, incense, dark chocolate and dried herbs. Flavorful, brooding and concentrated but not forcefully extracted. The tannins are plentiful and polished, showing chalky texture and focus. Rich and long but driven. Drink or hold. (02/3/24)."

94 points Tim Atkin, MW: "Black Tears is made with selected rows among Tapiz’s San Pablo plantings and benefits from the input of Bordeaux legend, Jean-Claude Berrouet, formerly of Château Pétrus. Scented, svelte and refined, it’s a wine that sashays across the palate. Mineral, detailed and complex, it has subtle wood, violet and graphite top notes and a core of plum and blackberry fruit. 2025-2032. (2024)."
