Fantastic Example of an Argentine Malbec! 95 Points James Suckling Blackberries with black truffles and violets on the nose. Full-bodied and very tight with firm, silky tannins that give this wine form and energy. Plenty of compressed and focused fruit at the end. Lots of blue fruit. Drink after 2024. 91 Points Vinous Achaval Ferrer's 2018 Blend Quimera is a blend of 60% Malbec, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Merlot from the Uco Valley and Luján de Cuyo. A complex Bordeaux style blend, each variety makes a contribution resulting in a ripe nose with fruit, herbal and balsamic aromas and a terse feel in the mouth with finely grained, rounded tannins, good grip, freshness and juice. The flavors are intense, but the structure veers on overbearing.
