93 pts James Suckling Feb 2024 Brooding and inky. Lots of warm stone, mussel shells and iodine to the deep, fresh purple fruit and violets. Broad and nicely chewy and fresh on the palate with a full body and a long, pristine and tightly wound finish. Grapes from Paraje Altamira and Los Chacayes. Better in two more years.92 pts Decanter Bright, juicy, and firm with chalky tannins, this wine surprises with boldness. Youthful notes of cherries and wildflowers emerge. Though austere and tight, its lively, crunchy palate promises potential, marked by refreshing oak spice.92 pts Wine Advocate May 2025 The 2023 Q Malbec aptly summarizes the profile readers can expect throughout the Zuccardi portfolio: poise, balance and precision, regardless of price point. It leads with a vibrant, dark-fruited nose showcasing remarkable purity, followed by a sumptuous, enveloping palate. It concludes with a saturated, concentrated finish that remains lifted and focused. 2024-202891 pts Vinous The 2023 Malbec Q is sourced from Paraje Altamira and Los Chacayes. After a winter in concrete and used, untoasted 500-liter French oak barrels, this wine showcases a lovely fruity expression with violet and cherry notes. It has a broad palate with a sanguine quality and medium-tight tannins, resulting in a somewhat lean finish with a light chalky touch. This is a modern interpretation of the 20-box Malbec from Argentina.
