2006 Susana Balbo Malbec Notable Press Summary
2006 Susana Balbo Malbec
91 Points
The Wine Spectator, June 2008
"Rich and polished, with almost gushing raspberry, boysenberry and blackberry fruit that's harnessed by suave toast spice and licorice notes. Long, well-rounded finish has nice buried acidity."
2006 Susana Balbo Malbec
91 Points
Robert Parker Jr's "The Wine Advocate", December, 2007
"The 2006 Malbec (which contains 10% Cabernet Sauvignon) received the same oak regimen as the [Susana Balbo] Cabernet. It is dark ruby-colored with a lovely nose of cedar, smoke, cassis, and black cherry. Medium-bodied with an elegant personality, it has layers of ripe fruit, nicely concealed tannins, and pure finish. It will continue to develop with a few more years in the bottle and provide pleasure though 2020."
2005 Susana Balbo Malbec
88 Points
Wine Spectator, November 30, 2007
"Ripe with creamy, soft layers of blueberry and boysenberry fruit followed by sweet toast and spice notes on the easy finish. "
2005 Susana Balbo Malbec
90 Points
Wine & Spirits, June 2007
"Behind the toasted oak aroma is a generous core of black fruit that feels energetic and bright. "
2005 Susana Balbo Malbec
91 Points
Wine Review Online, March 13, 2007
"This exceptional wine serves up the classic Malbec aromas of allspice and mace, as well as a light blue floral scent of lilac. It has a stirring core of blueberry fruit accented by a dark herbal flavor and a good palate weight that's supported by rippling acidity. For a wine of such density, it's surprisingly light on its feet; that spine of acidity gives the wine life and length."
2004 Susana Balbo Malbec
Wine Spectator, July 2006
"Lots of bold raspberry, black currant and boysenberry fruit, along with hints of mineral, game, espresso, and mocha. Long finish pumps out fruit, but vibrant minerality, too."
2004 Susana Balbo Malbec
MSNBC, "The Mysteries of Argentinean Malbec, April 2006
The reigning queen of Argentinean wine earns her reputation on what's in the bottle. Dark and tarry, with dried tobacco, nutmeg, leather and a raspberry overtone amid sweet licorice from 80 percent new French oak. Chewy and think, with the presence of a smoke-filled room.
2004 Susana Balbo Malbec
90+ Points
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Nov/Dec 2005/2006)
Red-ruby. Aromas of cherry, dark chocolate and exotic spices. Supple, densely packed, broad & sweet, with complex, concentrated flavors of blackberry & currant. Superb palate coverage and a very long, slowly mounting finish with building, ripe tannins. Long on personality.
