Description
94 points Tim Atkin, MW: “The second vintage under the José Zuccardi label – it was previously known as Zeta – is a cuvée of Malbec with 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Built to age and sourced entirely from limestone soils, it’s focused, refreshing and deliberately austere with leafy, grassy, green herb flavours and a taut finish. 2020-30.”
92 points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): “($45 list; fermented in concrete and aged for 24 months in second- and third-use foudres; from vineyards in Paraje Altamira and Gualtallary): Dark ruby-red. Subtle aromas of currant, plum and licorice showcase the wine’s small Cabernet component. Softer and fuller in the mouth than the Tito Zuccardi bottling, but still with lovely inner-mouth energy and precision and an impression of weightlessness from the calcaire. Finishes classically dry and very long, with fine-grained tannins and captivating violet lift. Drink: 2020-2028. (Jul 2018)”
92 points James Suckling: “This is dense with lots of ripe fruits and layers of spices and fruits at the same time. Full body and a tight middle palate that opens and unfolds on the tongue. Juicy finish. Drink now. (4/5/18)”
