88 Points
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, June 2008
"Saturated bright ruby. Black raspberry and dark chocolate on the nose. Sappy and primary, with inky cassis, blackberry and licorice flavors complicated by a suggestion of cocoa powder. I like this very juicy wine's restrained sweetness."

2006 Crios Malbec Notable Press Summary
2006 Crios de Susana Balbo Malbec
90 Points
Robert Parker Jr.'s "The Wine Advocate", December 2007
"The 2006 Malbec is more deeply colored than the Cabernet. It has a lovely aromatic display of wood smoke, spice box, and black cherry. This leads to a layered, spicy wine with excellent depth and concentration, very good balance, and enough stuffing to evolve for 2 - 3 years, although it can be enjoyed now. All of the Crios wines are outstanding values."

"Fresh and forward, with plum, grape and raspberry fruit on a ripe, inviting texture. There's a dash of toast on the finish."

90 Points & Best Argentine Malbec of the Year 2008
Wine & Spirits, October 2007
"Pungent acidity refreshes this malbec's dry plum flavors, bringing tension to the soft texture and sweet fruit. The finish is gentle and ripe with scents of violets. Serve with braised duck in a sweet sauce."

90 Points
Wine & Spirits, June 2007
"A huge malbec, this is generous and gentle, as satisfying as a bowl of blackberries with cream. Its soft tannins and mellow acidity are complemented by the warmth of its alcohol."

Wine Enthusiast
"Subtle and smooth from start to finish. The aromas are sly, but sturdy, with mocha and blackberry sticking out. The flavor profile is pure black fruit with underlayers of spice and chocolate. A ripe, really good example of approachable Malbec."
