Score: 91 Robert Parker / 93 Uncorked
Intense violet red color. It presents aromatic intensity of black fruits such as cassis, elderberry and blackberry, and mineral notes such as graphite. On the palate it presents good volume and concentration combined with excellent acidity and tannin tension. Its finish is long, fresh and elegant.

"The Cadus Tupungato Appellation Malbec 2018 shows the aromatic potential of the variety in the region, herbal and floral, spicy and with a wild touch of rusticity and a dry palate with calcareous tannins. It has 15% alcohol, but it does not feel excessively Ripe or alcoholic; it is in balance. 30,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2020." Luis Gutierrez - The Wine Advocate - Robert Parker
"This is a selection of plots from the Gualtallary area, to the north of the Uco Valley and between 1,300 and 1,400 meters above sea level. The soils are rich in sand and stones bathed in lime, which usually It gives the malbecs from the area firm tannins, similar to the sensation of chalk on the palate. The rest is red fruit, very fresh and accompanied by the acidity that the mountain delivers at that height, a firm and crisp acidity." Patricio Tapia - Uncorked Guide
