Dark fruit but also an attractive lifted, almost herbal topnote even though the fruit was clearly fully ripe. Really scented, even a touch floral, and still a fine note of minerally, almost smoky, graphite. Impeccable balance here, there's impressive freshness for such a powerful and intense wine and the complexity of the aroma is impressive so early in the wine's life. Firm, chewy but somehow succulent and with great length.

The mid-palate shows good concentration, especially in the context of this lighter-styled vintage. It does have all the freshness I expect in the vintage, though. This is an excellent effort by Crasto, but it does need some rest. If it develops as I hope, it may even be entitled to an uptick in score.
Plum, dried flower, earth and citrus rind aromas. Lightly chewy on the palate with a medium body and an earthy yet fresh finish. Drink now or try from 2025.

Vol fruit, vol karakteristieke stoere leergeuren, maar daaronder een statigheid, een sjieke ingetogenheid die zeldzaam is in Argentijnse malbec.

Warm, ripe and spicy with aromas of blueberries, mushrooms, plums and nutmeg. It’s full-bodied, broad and creamy, with powdery tannins that wrap around the dark fruit. Drink now.
