Heiner Lobenberg om:
Finca Canal Uco 2023

99
/100

Canal Uco ligger i »Paraje Altamira«, Zuccardis første vinmark i Uco-dalen. Den lille parcel er på kun 0,78 hektar og ligger over 1100 meter over havets overflade. Vinstokkene blev plantet her i 2007 på særdeles karg, kalkrige alluviale jordarter, der er gennemtrængt af sandet ler. Navnet, Canal Uco, stammer fra den lille biflod af samme navn til Tunuyán, som igen vander størstedelen af Mendoza. 90 % hele druer, der er modnet udelukkende i beton, helt uden brug af træ. I duften en tæt lavendel, knuste violblade, dertil salvie, timian, mørke brombær og et strejf af sort kirsebær. Alt understreget af en kølig, næsten kalkagtig mineralitet. På ganen uden nogen form for kraft, krystalklar, yderst fin og legende breder denne filigranagtige karakter sig over ganen. Igen sort kirsebær, morello, samt en fin urtekrydderi og salt spænding. Kridtagtige tanniner lægger sig som et silkeagtigt net over tungen og bærer frugten uden nogensinde at kvæle den. Vibrerende friskhed smelter sammen med denne dybe mineralitet. Grafit, lidt jod og salt. Dette paradoksale samspil mellem intens frugt, rolig mineralitet og yderst fin tekstur er virkelig imponerende!

Suckling om: Finca Canal Uco

So deep, with so much intensity. Aromas of dried herbs, cracked peppercorns, wild thyme, raw meat and precise dark berries. Tannins are superfine, dusty and melted, with a superb texture and an extremely long finish. Slightly warm and voluptuous at the end. Drink or hold.

Colin Hay om: Finca Canal Uco

A small harvest after the frost of September. The yields are lower and this was early picked. But the fruit retains all its freshness despite the additional concentration. Red and darker berry fruits, all extremely pure and crunchy. Crushed loganberry. In 2023, Finca Canal Uco is punchier than the 2022 but it retains a fantastic elegance and eloquence that is the signature of this estate and the brilliance of its winemaking. It’s beautifully floral again, but with a lovely freshly crushed rose peppercorn note that seems to reinforce the rose petals. There’s hibiscus too and a little peony. Dense and compact, the fruit very tightly held to the spine. Seriously structured yet delightfully lifted and aerial. I love the tactile trace of the tannins that seems to define the external parameters of the fruit’s flow over the palate towards the gracious finish. A vivid and captivating expression of its terroir.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Finca Canal Uco

Another of the producer's Place de Bordeaux offerings, the 2023 Malbec Finca Canal Uco is aged in concrete over 14 months, coming from one of the first sites planted by the family in the Uco Valley. At 3,609-feet elevation, drawing water from the Tunuyan River, it's granitic and complex, intensely layered in blueberry fruit and white pepper. Gorgeous, it will continue to develop over many years. Hold and drink 2028-2043.

Tim Atkin om: Finca Canal Uco

Bearing the name of the canal that runs through the Paraje Altamira sub-region, this world-class Malbec uses grapes from three different soil types. Concrete tanks are the vessel ofchoice here, allowing the fruit and terroir to express themselves. Jarilla and wet stone aromasare a prelude to a palate of blackberry and damson complemented by firm, sinewy tanninsand supporting acidity.

Jane Anson om: Finca Canal Uco

Blue fruit, juice, tension, freshly cut herbs, savoury with plenty of rise and backbone. Beautiful curling peony and violet fragrance, the wine just gets better and better on opening, woodsmoke, flint, wet stones. Sebastien Zuccardi owner. A cool year overall with an early frost, low yields.

Parker om: Finca Canal Uco

The 2023 Finca Canal Uco captures the dark-fruited and lush profile this wine typically delivers, qualities made all the more impressive given a warm, dry vintage marked by a significant spring 2022 frost event that struck Paraje Altamira particularly hard. Originating from relatively deep soils within Zuccardi's holdings in the region, it presents a markedly inky, black-fruited and minimalist bouquet compared to its neighboring property, Piedra Infinita. The mouthfeel is equal parts succulent, rich and juicy, effortlessly flowing into a layered, borderline lavish finish that lingers with discreet, powdery tannins and measured acidity. A generous, open-knit expression of Paraje Altamira, it will deliver a more complete drinking experience in its youth than its more structured stablemates in the Finca range.
