One of the most full-bodied chenin blanc wines I have ever had. It is amazing. The body and finish reminded me more of a Chardonnay but with the flavor profile of chenin blanc. — 2 years ago
Had 2018 yesterday after meeting the maker. A very good drop! — 4 years ago
Really pleasant. Very light and easy drinking; heavy green apple and lemon flavors with apricot. It's got a mineral edge but not in a typical limestone sort of way. Would buy again, but it doesn't last very long, so finish the bottle within a day. Two max. — 3 months ago

Ah, the 2010 vintage of Ricardo Santos Malbec, a transcendental libation that beckons the soul into the labyrinthine depths of vinicultural exuberance. As I imbibed this elixir, my palate embarked on an odyssey through an enigmatic symphony of hedonistic flavors. The terroir speaks with the eloquence of a thousand poets, invoking an avant-garde pas de deux between dark fruit and enigmatic earthiness.
The tannins, oh, the tannins! Like philosophers engaged in a Socratic dialogue with one's senses, they debate their existence before yielding to a seductive silkiness that borders on a Vinous epiphany. Its finish lingers, not unlike the sermons of a zealous street preacher, echoing in the inner sanctum of one's mind.
In conclusion, Ricardo Santos' 2010 Malbec is a vinous riddle wrapped in an enigmatic enigma, destined to provoke laughter, tears, and existential contemplation. A masterpiece of humorous absurdity in a glass! — 8 months ago
Warm dusty cherry & raspberry with with moss, warm earth, a fresh herby streak & whiff of orange peel.
On the palate this is fresh, lively, with zippy acidity, quite firm tannins and light yet fragrant on the fruit.
Great purity here & beautiful drinkability. I’d love to see more depth & complexity, but thieves really nice. — 3 years ago
