Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

My favourite Argentine wines are blended. I enjoy Malbec, but having it cut with a bit of other Bordeaux varietals can create something truly special. I collect Quimera for just such reasons. It is a truly special blend that carries a treasure trove of aromas and flavours of black and purple fruit, fresh and dried herbs, dark chocolate and baking spice, along with tobacco and sometimes a cola note or two. A wine that demands beef or lamb in any form. 94 Points.
Craig Haynes rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

From Mendoza, the Quimera is a blend of Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Deep ruby and noticeable tannin. This offering from Achaval Ferrer features a host of red fruit at its core. What is more, it shows glimpses of enticing earthiness and dried herbs. Medium bodied, complex wine has a long fruit finish.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
