2019 Zolo Reserve Malbec [JS92][V90]

Producer: Zolo  Region: Mendoza, Argentina  Varietal: Malbec  Year: 2019  James Suckling, 92 Points  "Aromas of blackberries, purple flowers, tea leaves, cocoa and some iodine. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Concentrated and focused with a polished, flavorful finish. Drink or hold."  Vinous, 90 Points  "From Agrelo, Lujan de Cuyo, the 2019 Malbec Reserve was aged for 14 months in 85% French barrels.  A rich purple in color, the aromas feature plum and blackberry with hints of violet over pencil box notes.  The broad palate has tangible tannins with middling freshness and a smooth texture.  A rewarding wine."  Winemaker Notes:  "Intense violet color with a concentrated nose of raspberries, violets, blackberries and notes of sweet spices. Soft and sweet mouthfeel with ripe and velvety tannins.  Elevated Argentinian Malbec!"  Alcohol: 13.9%  *Price and availability in store may vary. Vintage date may differ from pictured.
