Zuccardi Q Malbec 2023

Brooding and inky. Lots of warm stone, mussel shells and iodine to the deep, fresh purple fruit and violets. Broad and nicely chewy and fresh on the palate with a full body and a long, pristine and tightly wound finish. Grapes from Paraje Altamira and Los Chacayes. Better in two more years. Score – 93.
