Score : Robert Parker 90/100
Like its distant Bordeaux cousins, this Petite Fleur 2006 is predominantly Malbec, a grape particularly well acclimatized to the topographical and climatic constraints of the Uco Valley. With notes of toast, spices, violet and morello cherry, it offers a supple structure and great elegance. A wine to discover!
