Natalie's Score: 95/100

Susana Balbo Signature 2021 is a stylish Malbec with a splash of Petit Verdot added to the mix. Produced from grapes sourced from a high-elevation vineyard (1200 metres) in the Paraje Altamira, the wine is dry, medium-plus-bodied and fragrant with violets, blueberry, anise spice and minerally notes zesty and fresh on the nose and palate. The wine was aged for 13 months in oak barrels (30% new). Tannins are firm. Good now, better in 2024 to the end of the decade.

Malbec food pairings: meat lover's pizza, lamb, spicy sausage, beef, meatloaf.
