| Descorchados awarded this wine 96 points. (Patricio Tapia, Descorchados 2017) TASTING NOTE: With lower alcohol and higher acidity, the 2015 Polígonos San Pablo is sourced from a higher altitude, cooler zone of the Valle de Uco, the newly-developed San Pablo zone of Tunuyán between Gualtallary and Los Árboles, very close to the Andes Mountains. It's pure Malbec fermented and matured in cement vats from a very young vineyard the Zuccardi family planted in 2012. They are searching for no concentration, but elegance and finesse, and this cooler zone produces wines that are very aromatic, as this one with a tantalizing mixture of violets, blood orange and wild herbs. The palate is sharp, with laser-cut precision, chiseled and long, with citric acidity and great length. This is a completely new zone, close to getting the IG (appellation) status. I simply loved the nose of this wine. Drink Date: 2017-2021. Score - 93 (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, Dec. 30, 2016) |
