Description
The nose expresses sour cherry and plum, there’s hints of blue and blackberry, with hidden undertones of lavender and herbs. The palate is juicy and bright with a chalky texture that deepens with a flavour enhancing salinity. A long lasting and extremely layered wine built for cellaring.

Critics reviews
Joaquín Hidalgo 95/100
The 2019 Malbec Finca Piedra Infinita from the Uco Valley was aged in concrete. A vivid purple in the glass. The compact nose presents hints of fresh plum, blackberry and pinches of herbs such as thyme and bay leaf before floral violet and lavender aromas begin to develop. On the palate, it’s similarly compact with clear, chalky tannins and a light structure that end up forming a juicy whole with a delicate, active freshness that channels the full body; the 2019 displays extremely refined tannins. The Piedra Infinita is a testament to what wines from the region can be.

Luis Gutiérrez 97/100
It has the sense of purity and harmony of the best vintages of this wine, with precision and balance. They build the wine with juice from different plots and soils depending on the vintage: in a cooler year like 2019, they tend to use more grapes from shallower soils more supercalcáreo than gravas calcáreas - gravascal), and in a warmer year, they'd use more grapes from places with a little more soil and resistance to heat and dry conditions. This wine is juicy and has purity of fruit and a tactile sensation reminiscent of wet chalk, with very fine tannins and a long, tasty finish.
