2021 Finca Canal Uco
An unusual style of Argentine Malbec and one that I thoroughly recommend, and often end up reaching for at home. Intense dark ruby in colour, fragrant violet aromatics, with cocoa bean and damson fruits, this is caressing and full of charm, takes a beat before the smoky grilled herbs kick in, never strays into overly sweet territory, maintaining definition and backbone. Sebastian Zuccardi winemaker and owner. Concrete vats for fermentation and ageing, natural yeasts, vineyard set at 1,100m in altitude on granite and limestone soils.
94/100 Jane Anson
(Mendoza; 100% Malbec; 14.5% alcohol). Intensely expressive and intensely floral aromatically, this is very vertical and aerial too. Parfumier’s essences of lilac and wild rosemary. Gracious and glowing, elegant and very fluid, a lovely wide and ample mouthful of fresh fruit juice pushing at the cheeks. Saline, with liquorice notes building towards the pleasingly sustained finish. Sapid.
