Susana Balbo, Signature Cabernet Sauvignon Mendoza 2017

93 points James Suckling
"Pretty cabernet with blackcurrant and green-tea aromas and flavors. Medium body. Hazelnut, dried-flower and cedar undertones. Fine finish. Racy. Drink or hold."

"I tasted two vintages of the Signature Cabernet, and the two years show quite different. The 2017 Susana Balbo Signature Cabernet Sauvignon feels riper and shows a little more influence of the élevage in oak barrels but with a supple core of herbal and berry aromas, quite varietal and expressive. It has some development, with complex aromas and classical tannins."

"Bright ruby-red. Varietally expressive aromas of black cherry, currant, licorice, tobacco, fresh herbs and black pepper. Dense but juicy; richer than the BenMarco Cabernet but less expressive in the early going and a bit more dominated by its structure, which Susana Balbo partly attributes to the newer oak (3,000-liter toneles that were previously used only to ferment the Malbec that goes into her Nosotros bottling). Very ripe black cherry fruit complicated by notes of tobacco and pepper. Finishes classically dry, with firm, suave tannins and captivating lingering sweetness. A serious Cabernet, but hold it for another six to nine months before pulling the cork."
