Q MALBEC 2013 Uco Valley, Mendoza |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
ZUCCARDI |
Extremely deep intense purple colour. Fairly intense, cedary, very slightly peppery, ripe plum nose with some cedar notes. Fairly dry, medium bodied, solid, plummy, warm red cherry flavours with a lingering, cedary finish. It comes in a very heavy bottle and has 14% alcohol and 6 g/L residual sugar with lot number L16-244304 on the back label. Better than the 2013 (*+) released on September 3, 2016 at $19.95. TONY ASPLER / 88-points / BUY - Blackberry and cedar on the nose with a roasted note. Full-bodied, dry, fruity-savoury plum flavour with a tangerine peel finish. You can safely ignore the dated tasting note appearing in the Vintages Catalogue. ARGENTINA Feature (12 items). |

TASTING NOTE: The 2013 Malbec Q is sourced from La Consulta (Altamira) and Vista Flores. This wine has changed since 2010; now only 30% to 50% of the wine is oaked and the rest is matured in cement vats. The oak is imperceptible, and there are plenty of aromas of violets and blueberries with some aromatic herbs, all fruit. What Sebastian Zuccardi looks for is to have some herbal/countryside aromas and a lively palate with good acidity, which is what you find here. This is really tasty, with a fine, chalky tannin (from Altamira?) and just plain great. Score - 91 (Luis Gutierrez, robertparker.com, Aug. 27, 2015) |
