José Zuccardi Malbec 2020 – 750ML

The third vintage of the 2015 José Zuccardi was produced with grapes from Altamira and Gualtallary in the Valle de Uco. It’s mostly Malbec but contains some 7% Cabernet Sauvignon. It fermented in concrete vats with indigenous yeasts and matured in oak foudres. It feels riper and a little rounder than the 2014, but the sharpness of all of their wines – the focus and precision – is impressive irrespective of the vintage. 32,000 bottles were filled in February 2017. Drink date: 2018-2024. Score – 93. (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, June 29, 2018) .
