Score 95/100 · Drink 2021-2038, Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous, Nov 2021

Riccitelli's 2018 Malbec Republica Del Malbec comes from agro-ecological vineyards in Luján de Cuyo and was aged half in French barrels and half in foudres for 16 months. The nose delivers a veritable tour of the best qualities of both the variety and the region: ripe plum and white pepper with whiffs of balsam and violets. In the mouth, it’s expansive but measured with finely grained sweet tannins and integrated freshness. Long-lasting and packed with flavor.

The excellent 2018 República del Malbec has a traditional profile, starting with the origin of the grapes, Las Compuertas, which shows great concentration and freshness, juicy and with very round tannins. It's spicy, especially in the finish, where the élevage in oak provided an attractive profile.
