Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator
Explosively fruity aromas and flavors of blackberry, dark cherry and plum tart are creamy and filled with rich savory and cooking spice accents. Powerfully structured, showing dark chocolate and mocha on the finish, with hints of dried mint. Drink now through 2025. 5,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported.
Wine Advocate
The 2016 José Zuccardi was produced with grapes (90% Malbec and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon) from Altamira and Gualtallary in the Valle de Uco. This is the continuation of the old Z bottling, but here the wine is aged mostly in 2,500-liter oak vats rather than in smaller barriques. There are herbal notes reminiscent of green tea leaves, spices and berries. The palate is serious and has chalky tannins, as they select grapes from places in the Valle de Uco that have limestone soils. It seems like they have found the way ahead for this wine in 2016; it’s fine, precise and elegant. 40,000 bottles were filled in August 2018.
Decanter
A serious Malbec, built for the long haul. Intense, harmonious black fruit aromatics; hints of spice, savouriness and a whisper of florality, opening up with time in glass to include notes of richer black cherry and mulberries. Ageing in concrete and old oak foudres for 12 months gives fine tannins and a silkiness to the mouthfeel. Incredible depth of spicy cassis fruit, with a base note of dry earthiness and ground black spices. Layers unfurl as the palate opens up: ripe plum, velvety mulberry and raspberry notes, a touch of pomegranate, underpinned by fresh acidity. Poised, with a long, lingering finish.

Malbec, a grape varietal that has journeyed from the obscure vineyards of France to the sun-drenched hills of Argentina, stands today as a wine of international acclaim. This transformation from an almost forgotten grape to a celebrated wine icon is a story of adaptability, flavor, and the perfect marriage of nature and nurture. Originally from Cahors in Southwest France, Malbec is also known traditionally as Côt or Auxerrois. In its French homeland, it struggled with climatic challenges and diseases like downy mildew. However, its relocation to Argentina marked a dramatic turn in its fortunes. Here, particularly in Mendoza, Malbec found its ideal terroir. The Argentine Andes provide not just stunning backdrops but also the perfect climatic conditions for Malbec. High altitudes ensure...Please check Malbec for more information

Some real freshness on the nose, but it’s also a bit sour on the end. Taken to an extreme perhaps? Shows what can be done rather than what the consumer might find most delicious? Concrete and limestone combo a bit stonily demanding. Although 24 hours later from an open bottle it was much more welcoming with the fruit more in evidence.
