97 Points - James Suckling

This shows subtle aromas of tea, hibiscus and cherries. The palate is incisive and concentrated, yet marked by subtlety and precision, with focused tannins. Saline, persistent and delicate. Made from an old vineyard planted in El Peral. The grapes are destemmed and cold-soaked with gentle infusion-style extraction, then aged in barrels. Focused, delicious, expressive and incredibly approachable. Drink now or hold.

Another stand-out in the Escala Humana portfolio is the 2022 Credo Malbec. It originates from El Peral and underwent a 30-40 day maceration with 30% stem inclusion before basket pressing and maturing in 500-liter well-seasoned François Frères barrels. Opening with a deep, measured and refined bouquet of opaque fruits, purple flowers and escalating spice-driven accents, the palate is seamless, elegant and dense while maintaining a taut, lifted core. It concludes with an intense, rich finish elongated by ultra-refined tannins and impeccable composure. This is a compelling and sophisticated expression of Uco Valley Malbec with a stylistic nod to Cornas.
