2019 | Familia Zuccardi 'Finca Canal Uco' Malbec | Altamira Chateau La Bridane situated north of CastillonWhat a nose, garnering complexity and depth. A wide spectrum of aromas that range from blackberries and blueberries to graphite, tree bark and wet earth. A medium to full bodied red, showing so much fleshy fruit and powerful, chalky tannins. But never imposing nor flattering. Impeccable poise, with a long, tight finish. This is the kind of wine that you can drink now or lay down for two decades. 98 Pts James Suckling
