Caro 2020

The 2020 Caro uses fruit from three Uco Valley sub-regions – Gualtallary, Paraje Altamira and San Pablo – and is a blend of Malbec with 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. Lightly wooded in 20% new oak, this shows no sign of the heat of the 2020 vintage. Wonderfully scented and intense, with glossy tannins, cassis, bramble and coffee bean flavours, tangy minerality and a long, tapering finish. Drink date: 2024-2035. Score – 97.
