I found the 2018 Grande Reserve Malbec too oaky for my taste, a little earthy too. It fermented for 25 days, and 75% of the volume matured in 600-liter oak barrels for nine months. It has moderate ripeness, 13.5% alcohol and mellow acidity and freshness. It comes through as a little rustic with abundant dusty tannins.
The 2020 Constanza Single Vineyard Malbec is a serious varietal from an old vineyard in Maule. It has good ripeness, reflecting a warm and dry year, 14.2% alcohol and a round and full-bodied palate with elegant tannins. On the finish, the varietal flavors are intermixed with spices and toast from the 600-liter barrels, where the wine matured for 18 months. This is serious, powerful and faithful to the variety, place and vintage
