Jeb Dunnuck Review
Rated 95
Aged in separate foudres the first year, then blended and aged one year more, the 2020 Malbec Jose is meant to honor and reflect the history and tradition of Malbec in Altamira and Gualtallary. Spicy, it's fully concentrated with oak influence, structure, and density. It's built to age another 10-15 years. Drinking Window 2025-2040.
