James Suckling 90
A ripe and generous malbec with some dark spices, black cherries and tapenade to the nose. Rich and flavorful on the palate with a medium body and direct, fruit-driven finish.

There is a new wine made with certified organic grapes from their vineyard in Agrelo, the first vintage of which is the 2022 Crios Sustentia Malbec Organico. It's a lighter expression of the place, with good freshness and also ripeness and development of aromas and flavors, with the textbook violets and black fruit, herbs and spice, although it's bottled completely unoaked. It's juicy and soft, with round tannins and a velvety texture.

Description
Crios was born out of Susana Balbo’s love for her children and desire to forge a legacy for her family, helping them navigate their own life journeys with lessons learned from a lifetime of trailblazing entrepreneurship. The iconic handprint logo on each Crios bottle symbolizes this relationship and illustrates hands as powerful tools for mothers, allowing them to hold, to provide warmth, to nourish, and to comfort, as well as to teach the next generation the skills and wisdom achieved.
Tasting notes
A Malbec that stands out for its purity, a consequence of its production with organic techniques and low-intervention. Notes of red fruits -especially raspberries- stand out on its nose, while the palate is medium-bodied, with a pleasant finish and very round tannins that are due to Agrelo’s clayey soils.
