Fresh, brooding blue and purple fruit with mountain herbs and a touch of peppercorns. Really fluid and certainly with less mid-palate flesh than Paraje Altamira, but even fresher and nervier. Plenty of tight, silty tannins. Drink from 2025.

The 2023 Polígonos San Pablo Malbec is the most high-toned and chalky of the Polígonos Malbecs, leading with a red-fruited, meaty nose followed by a decadent yet focused, compact and remarkably energetic palate. It concludes with a searingly mineral finish elongated by a taut, bracing and chalky energy. While I slightly preferred the less angular Polígonos bottlings from Altamira and Gualtallary, this is exquisitely rendered and will appeal to readers seeking minerality above all else.

The 2023 Malbec Polígonos San Pablo is sourced from several plots planted in the San Pablo GI in the Uco Valley. Crafted in a raw style, it showcases floral notes of violet and lavender, accompanied by hints of blood orange. With a delicate fruit tone and a lean structure, it offers good freshness and a long, delicate palate. This wine embodies a new style of Malbec.

This Malbec was sourced from a cool sub-region of the Uco Valley. The nose is delicate, showing aromas of fresh wild berries. The palate is smooth with fine tannins and excellent acidity carrying black fruit flavors and a touch of black pepper through a savory finish.
