2019 Finca Canal Uco Magnum

Deep purple, juicy and concentrated with fresh with ripe cherries, wild blackberries and blueberries, herbs and white peppers, elegant and polished with grippy finish. Winemaker Sebastian Zuccardi ferments and ages this wine in concrete amphoras for 12 months. Grown at 1,100m altitude from select plots on their vineyard in GI Paraje Altamira, Uco Valley. This wine shows why Sebastian Zuccardi is considered a leading winemaker in Argentina. This vintage is in its prime -- still juicy, with layers of aromas and silky texture.

(Mendoza; 100% Malbec; 1100 metres on the southern slopes of the Uco valley on the start of the alluvial fan; 14% alcohol). A great vintage and a very complete and composed wine. This is tight and compact, with a less ample frame but massive intensity and mid-palate density and concentration. The Zuccardi style that I recognise and love from the 2021, 2022 and 2023 is already present here, albeit now with a little more bottle maturation. The earlier vintages do not have quite the same finesse. Indeed, there’s a very rare, radiant purity to this. Loganberry, a little red cherry, with perfectly bright and crunchy berry fruits. Floral and herbal in equal measure and with those lovely beady limestone tannins. Ethereal, juicy and succulent with great finesse despite the density. Lifted and aerial, this finishes very much at the top of the palate. Supremely harmonious and fresh on the silken finish. Truly wonderful.
