Luis Gutiérrez Issue Date 29th Jun 2018 Source 237, The Wine Advocate The 2016 Q Malbec was sourced mostly from Altamira but has some grapes from Chacayes. It fermented with 50% full clusters in concrete vats, and some 30% of the wine aged in used 225- and 500-liter oak barrels. The oak is unnoticeable, and in fact, I find similarities with the Concreto—pure, strict, raw and characterful, with plenty of fine-grained, chalky tannins. I find it to be incredibly good and with an amazing price for what it delivers. Availability should also be very good, as they produced 350,000 bottles of it. This is one to buy by the case. It was bottled between December 2017 and March 2018 from the same blend.
This is clean and focused with dark berry and blueberry character. Tight with a medium body. Fine tannins and a fresh finish. A transparent and pretty red.
