Zuccardi Concreto Malbec 2022

What a perfumed nose with plenty of violets, iodine, blueberries and mineral. Lots of sappy fruit with fine-grained tannins that tightly wrap the full-bodied palate. Pristine, concentrated and quintessential. A selection of the stoniest soils from Paraje Altamira. 100% whole-bunch fermentation. Needs at least two years to soften the tannins. Drink from 2025. [This has the potential to see the mid-2030s.] Score – 95. (Zekun Shuai, jamessuckling.com, March 27, 2023)
