Zuccardi's 2018 Malbec Aluvional (Paraje Altamira) was 30% aged in French oak for 12 months. Vivid purple in hue. The complex, intense nose offers delicate red fruit with plum and cherry aromas, herbs and touches of violet with even subtler notes. Potent without being concentrated, it is medium-bodied but packed with flavor, juicy and fluid in the mouth. The chalky tannins enhance the tension. There's a lot of scope for this wine to grow in the bottle; I'd love to try it in around 10 years or more.

This focused red is filled with savory zest to the concentrated dark currant, pomegranate and cherry flavors that are well-knit, showing fresh acidity and tannins. There's minerally power on the finish, with dried thyme and saline hints. Drink now through 2027.
Wine Enthusiast

Plum, licorice, peppercorn and a hint of salt show in the bouquet of this balanced wine. It's full bodied, with well-integrated tannins. The vibrant palate delivers bright black-fruit flavors and peppery spice. It finishes long with leather notes.
