The result brings together the character of two Uco Valley origins rather than a single Paraje Altamira source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eExpert Reviews · Vintage 2021\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling · 96 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e A full-bodied and expressive malbec with 5% cabernet sauvignon. Minerals, black cherries and cool blue fruit. A touch of cocoa powder, but there is nothing plush. Concentrated but austere, with tons of juicy fruit and dusty tannins treading into a long, bright finish. Fermented in concrete and aged 24 months in foudres. Drink or hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Advocate · 94 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e Sourced from Altamira and Gualtallary, the 2021 José Zuccardi is 95% Malbec and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon that was fermented in concrete before maturing two years in foudre. It is an homage to Sebastián's father, aiming to evoke the historic wines of Argentina—as Sebastián says, \"not the 1990s or 2000s, but the 1940s or 1950s.\" It leads with an inviting, focused nose of black fruits and balsamic accents, introducing a creamy, svelte and taut palate. It concludes with a seamless, refined and elegantly decadent finish. It is a perfect marriage of classically informed richness and contemporary precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTim Atkin · 94 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e Named after Sebastián Zuccardi’s father, José, this is an assemblage of Malbec and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon from Gualtallary and Paraje Altamira. Aged in large wooden foudres that have a negligible impact in terms of flavour, but do soften the wine’s structure, it’s dark, brooding and intensely coloured, with savoury tannins, damson and bramble flavours, bright acidity and a mountain herb top note.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFood Pairing Suggestions\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair with traditional Argentine asado, porterhouse steak, grilled veal chops or rich mushroom-based dishes.
