Heiner Lobenberg über:
B Crux 2012
93+ /100
Lobenberg: Der neue Stil des B Crux, viel feiner und fruchtbetonter. Schon die Nase verströmt Eleganz pur. Ganz feine, rote Frucht, etwas Erdbeere dahinter. Nicht im Ansatz die extreme Wucht des Blockbusters, sondern Harmonie und Balance. Im Mund rote Kirsche pur, auch etwas Johannisbeere. Im Stil erinnert er an einen feinen, sehr fruchtigen Côte Rôtie mit einem Touch Châteauneuf. Wunderschöne Länge, Harmonie in allen Bereichen. Einer der feinsten Weine Argentiniens. Der Wein kann sicherlich 12 Jahre und mehr überdauern. 93+/100

Suckling über:
B Crux

Parker über:
B Crux
-- Parker: The blend of the 2012 B Crux changed since 2011 and is now mostly Malbec, with some 30% Tempranillo, 15% Syrah and 10% Merlot from their estate vineyards in La Consulta in the Valle de Uco. It's a ripe and heady blend hitting the scales at 15% alcohol, denoting a warm, dry and ripe year. It fermented in stainless steel vats with selected yeasts and went through malolactic in barrel, where it matured for one year. They had already started the change towards fresher wines but you still feel the concentration and the oak here, even if it's less prominent that in previous vintages. There are some smoky aromas reminiscent of roasted sesame seeds over a core of ripe plums and sweet spices. There are abundant, fine-grained tannins and ripe fruit. It ends dry. A powerful blend for hearty food. 90/100
