"Opens with bold notes of molasses, olive and Mission fig but then reveals a core of fresh berries and plum. Turns savory on the finish, adding dried tobacco and loam details, with structured tannins. Nice length. Drink now through 2036."

"The 2023 Malbec Colome Autentico is a brawny, full-bodied wine with good acidity and floral characteristics marked by its sophisticated structure and length. From the depths of Salta, it shows tremendous concentration and age-worthiness; cellar through 2037."

Close Review

"The 2023 Malbec Auténtico comes from Estancia Colomé and is crafted in a primary, unoaked style. Intense purple, its aromas reveal blackberry, a hint of chili pepper and a sharp balsamic touch with notable intensity and slight reduction. Indulgent and broad with plush textures and fine tannins, it offers pure flavors and remarkable palate intensity. The northern sun has made this long, powerful and full of flavor."

"This dark-fruited red has smoky and salty undertones to the black-plum, black-olive and clove aromas. It’s full-bodied and concentrated, with deliciously spicy and salty character and berry-soaked tannins. Deep and compact. Drink or hold."

Close Review

"Auténtico sees no wood at all and is something of a homage to Colomé’s previous owner, Raúl Dávalos Senior, who hated oak-aged wines. Sappy and refreshing, it’s a bright, energetic, concrete-fermented style with wild thyme, plum, bramble and red berry flavours and a frame of savoury tannins. 2025-32"

"From a single vineyard, the 2022 Malbec Colome Autentico is full-bodied and boldly layered in black pepper spice, clove, leather, cigar box, and stewy dark fruit like fig. Savory through and through, it's seamless tannins coat the palate with ease, finding a balance of fresh underlying acidity to keep it lively in the glass. Enjoy now through 2030."

"Hailing from 20-year-old vines planted at 2,300 meters above sea level, the 2022 Auténtico Malbec matured for 10 months in predominately stainless steel and a portion of concrete eggs for 10 months. It opens with a distinctly savory, meaty nose of cracked pepper, cured meats, dried spices and purple flowers, introducing an intensely rich, svelte and lush palate. The finish is solid, sturdy and intensely mineral driven."

Close Review

"Structured and rich, this Malbec starts with lovely aromas of spices and herbs. The palate is intense and abundant in black fruit, delivering prunes and black cherries. Optimal acidity and firm tannins provide support and lead to a lingering leafy finish."

Close Review

"The 2022 Malbec Colomé Autentico, from the upper valleys in Molinos, Calchaquí Valley, spent ten months aging in 85% tanks and 15% concrete eggs. Dark purple, it exudes black fruit aromas, herbal tones and chutney-like notes, with a sun-kissed, overripe character. Orange peel notes emerge with time in the glass. Dry and rich, the lightly-structured tannins and juicy flow lead to an easygoing, long-lasting finish. This is a crystal-clear high-altitude red."

Close Review

"Pure, lush blackberries, blueberries, crushed violets, dried herbs and graphite. This is so vibrant and bright and shows the innate beauty of the fruit. The juicy, medium- to full-bodied palate unleashes firm, fruit tannins. Fine-grained and long. Delicious now, but can hold, too."

Close Review

"The 2021 Colome Autentico Malbec is rustic, earthy, and genuine. This wine exhibits aromas and flavors of dried earth, herbs, and chalky notes. Try it with a savory lamb stew."

Close Review

"The 2021 Auténtico Malbec feels very young and a bit raw, like it needs a little more time. This unoaked wine was produced as an homage to the ancestral style of the zone (and to the winery when it belonged to the previous owner, the Dávalos family). It has the intensity and power of Salta and the vines at 2,300 meters in altitude, and it opens up nicely in the glass if you wait a bit. It has very good acidity, which makes it very balanced. Fifteen percent of the volume matured in concrete egg for 10 months and the rest in stainless steel. 65,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2022."

Close Review

"Made as a tribute to Colomé’s previous owner, Raúl Dávalos, who has an aversion to oak, this unwooded Malbec uses grapes from nine parcels on the estate in Molinos. Wild, savoury and intense, with aromatic herb top notes, tobacco leaf undertones and a compact, layered, densely fruited finish. 2023-30"

Close Review

"Blackberries, dark spices, oyster shells and graphite with a lift of violets. A full-bodied malbec with round, polished tannins. Very primary with plush fruit. Showing complexity without referring to oak. Vegan. Really delicious now."

Close Review

"This aromatic red offers blackberry and blueberry on the nose. It's full bodied and delivers juicy black-fruit flavors that linger through the long finish."

Close Review

"From Molinos, Calchaquí Valley, the 2020 Malbec Auténtico is unaged and presents a simple nose of ripe plum and hints of violet, gunpowder, jarilla and spices. The flavors are just as intense in the mouth with mild freshness and a juicy flow. The mild tannins lend structure before the lengthy, fruity finish. This is a high-altitude red as pure as the valley air."
