Zuccardi Q Malbec Paraje Altamira and Vista Flores 2014
Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaFresh, plush, black plum, salted black liquorice nose flecked with violets and ‘jarilla,’ (the garrigue of Mendoza) gives off the signature Uco Valley terroir. The fruit is sourced from select lots in high altitude Paraje Altamira and Vista Flores hence the balanced, silky textures covered with tobacco and a slick of tar through the full-bodied mid-palate that linger through a warm (14.5 percent) finish. The one year in French oak is handled well, and pretty much engulfed by the dense fruit. A mountain freshness helps throughout to keep this bright. Drinking well now, but will improve with short term cellaring. Impressive for the price.Tasted: 11 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:| NS | $21.00 | 750ml | |
