Cadus Tupungato Appellation Malbec 2018

Showing the high alcohol levels that are a feature of some of the 2018 reds, this superb, if full-bodied, Malbec comes from two sites in Gualtallary, both of them above 1,250 metres. Laurel and aniseed aromas lead you into a palate that is rich, dense and textured with a nice combination of one-third oaked and two-thirds stainless steel components, fine tannins and balancing natural acidity. Drink date: 2022-2028. Score – 94. (timatkin.com, Argentina Special Report 2020)
