James Suckling 94pt

This shows dark, lustrous fruit layered with cedar on the nose. The palate is richly fruited yet elegant and seamless, with firm tannins and polished blue fruit. Structured but rounded, offering both precision and approachability. A blend of 40% cabernet sauvignon, 30% malbec, 15% cabernet franc and 15% petit verdot.

Tim Atkin 93pt

Susana Balbo has always been a very good blender and it shows in the quality of this Agrelo cuvee of Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Petit Verdot, 14% Malbec and 12% Cabernet Franc. The new French oak needs a little more time to meld into the wine perhaps, but this is an expertly weighted red with layers of damson, blackberry and red plum, dense, compact tannins, lots of texture and a sheen of mocha and coffee bean.
