I found the 2015 Black Tears Malbec to be very classical and proportioned, floral, aromatic and fresh. It comes from the higher-altitude vineyards in San Pablo where the soils are shallow and have lots of stones. It matured in new and second use French oak barrels for 18 months (down from 24 in the previous vintage) and has integrated oak. It has ripe fruit without excess and is neatly balanced by very good acidity. It's powerful and elegant, nicely textured. It feels a little riper after a long time in the glass. 18,000 bottles were filled in February 2018.

Big and ripe, featuring concentrated raspberry, red plum and spiced cherry flavors. Pastry notes show midpalate, with a finish filled to the brim with chocolate and cream details and hints of white pepper. Drink now through 2023. 1,800 cases made, 1,100 cases imported.??–KM??Region: Argentina / Mendoza Select to Add

The floral, aromatic and fresh 2014 Black Tears Malbec comes from the higher-altitude vineyards where the soils are shallow and have lots of stones. It was matured in new and second use French oak barrels for 24 months and has integrated oak and ripe fruit without excess. It's quite intense and has a powerful yet balanced and elegant palate. It's tasty and shows good purity of fruit and a stony/mineral sensation in the palate, a texture rather than a flavor... 19,200 bottles were filled in June 2016.

Sourced from the cool and high-altitude San Pablo zone in Tunuyán and cropped from a cool year, the 2013 Black Tears Malbec matured in new and second use French oak barrels for 24 months. It feels quite ripe and somewhat earthy in a style that combines aromas of peat, plums and graphite. It has abundant, fine-grained, slightly dusty tannins and more restraint than in previous vintages. 15,000 bottles were filled in October 2016.

A refined red, with cedar and spice notes accenting the dried berry and currant flavors. Offers beefy hints midpalate, showing a taut, tannic finish, rich with cigar box details. Drink now through 2020. 780 cases made, 600 cases imported.??–KM??Region: Argentina / Mendoza Select to Add
