A racy and refined Nosotros with blackcurrant, raspberry, blueberry, crushed stone, lavender and sandalwood aromas that follow through to a medium to full body. A very racy palate of ultra-fine tannins and a fresh and crunchy finish. Complex and full of energy. Drink after 2028 but already fantastic.

The highlight of the Susana Balbo roster is the 2021 Nosotros Single Vineyard Nómade Malbec, a bottling that perennially represents the most favored Malbec barrels in the cellar. This iteration hails from Los Chacayes and was fermented in predominantly 3,000-liter foudre and 6,000-liter cask before maturing for 16 months in 80% new French oak. It is powerful and assertive yet understated throughout, opening with a purple- and blue-fruited nose lifted with floral, minty and cardamom accents delivered with a focused, lively core. The palate is effortlessly rich and slow-moving, culminating in a swelling, saturated finish with persistent power and remarkable vibrancy. As with much of the Balbo range, I imagine this will develop beautifully in the cellar well through its 10th birthday.
