"Despite the very warm year and the slightly higher alcohol (14.5%), the 2020 Tito Zuccardi feels impressively fresh and balanced with no heat or ripeness. They harvested earlier, and the wine is fine-boned and velvety, with more fruit than the 2019 or 2021 that I tasted next to it. Here the Malbec, which is the majority, is fermented together with the Cabernet Franc, and the two varieties feel very integrated together. This transcends the difficulties of the vintage." -Robert Parker
