"The first release of Nosotros Malbec, in 2007, was dominated by oak and superripe fruit, as were many ambitious malbecs at the time.  The 2011 is also ripe and lush, but the fruit is accompanied by bright acidity and firm tannins, the oak playing only a supporting role.  A selection of the best barrels, it's a wine for the cellar."

"The 2011 Nosotros Single Vineyard Nomade is from Altamira in the Uco Valley. Each vintage will be sourced from the best location for Malbec in that year, which is why the wine now has added the word "nomade" to its name. Future editions will be Vista Flores, Gualtallary. The destemmed grapes fermented in open barriques with manual punching down and a long maceration. There is a strong influence from the élevage here, with plenty of smoke, ash, cigar, toast and spices with roasted coffee, cured meat and dark chocolate mixed in and the Malbec character hiding in the background. It matured for 18 months in 100% new French oak barrels, but some of the barrels had a very light toast much like what is normally used for Pinot Noir. The full-bodied palate has plenty of tannins, good freshness and underlying minerality, It is quite powerful and is an XXL red that needs time in bottle. 12,000 bottles produced."

"A late-released wine with gorgeous blackberry, blueberry and floral undertones. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and a focused and beautiful finish. It shows so much precision and intensity, yet always refined. A blend of the best wines that year. An icon wine for Argentina."

"The 2010 Nosotros Malbec is 80% from Agrelo, from estate grapes planted at high-density vineyard (8,000 plants per hectare) and the rest from Gualtallary, complemented with fruit from an old vineyard from Tunuyan. The wine was raised in new French oak for 18 months. It is quite oaky, but the dense fruit seems to have absorbed it better than the Brioso. Here the chocolate and espresso coffee aromas are intermixed with notes of ripe cherries and violets, resulting in a quite showy, commercial and elegant nose at the same time. The medium to full-bodied palate reveals glossy, round and sweet tannins, with pungent flavors and good intensity. This is a big Malbec that should age well. Drink now-2020."

"A dense and powerful red with lots of blackberry, dried fruit and just a hint of new wood. Full-bodied and rich with a long finish. Muscular yet balanced. Needs two or three years to still soften."

Close Review

"Good full ruby. Cassis, licorice and bitter chocolate on the nose, with a strong element of coconutty oak. Creamy in the mouth, offering strong, weighty fruit and an almost exotic sweetness. Comes across as rather heavily extracted, and very sweet and oaky on the back end. This impressively dense, outsized wine shows good underlying minerality but was a bit extreme for this taster."

"The 2009 Nosotros Malbec comes from 53-year-old vines in Lujan de Cuyo and Uco Valley and is raised in new French oak for 18 months. It has a rich, blackberry and raspberry scented bouquet, interlaced by Valrhona chocolate and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied with supple tannins and a sweet core of raspberry and strawberry fruit. Although the aromatics are a little oaky, the palate absorbs the oak well, rendering the finish harmonious and voluptuous. Drink now-2020."

"A blend with lots of ripe fruit and new wood. Hints of coconut too. Full and silky textured with loads of fruit and barrels, but it's bright and exciting. This is mostly from the estate vineyard in Agrelo with a percentage of Gualtallary. High density planting. Needs a year or two to come together more but delicious already."

Close Review

"Bright, deep saturated ruby. Blackberry, cassis, licorice, espresso, mocha and bitter chocolate on the exotically oaky nose. Lush, sweet and seamless, with flamboyant oak tones to the flavors of black raspberry, currant, coffee and tobacco. In a distinctly sweet style but with sound balancing acidity. Can't quite match the 2010 for nuance or refinement, as this is more dominated by its new oak, but there's still plenty of underlying energy here."

"A dense yet vibrant red, featuring a focused core of boysenberry coulis, cassis and jammy plum notes, finely woven with silky tannins and nuances of spice, licorice and graphite. Malbec. Drink now through 2017. 90 cases imported."

"Good bright red-ruby. Cassis on the nose, dominated by nutty oak; there's something a bit evolved here. Chewy, smooth and quite sweet, with raspberry, currant and graphite flavors joined by exotic oak tones. The long, palate-dusting finish features plush tannins and good juicy lift."
