88 pts Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
Full ruby-red. Sexy aromas of dark fruits and truffle. Sweet, lush and rich for this price range, with a slightly saline quality and a faint roasted character to the black raspberry flavor. Finishes fat but rather unrefined, with broad chocolaty tannins.

Winemaker Notes
The Clasico is an excellent example of the style and elegance which old Malbec vines yield in the appellation of Lujan de Cuyo. A minimalist approach to winemaking leads to a modern style which combines the fresh crisp flavors of blackberry and wild raspberry with good structure and soft tannins.
