94+ points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Calcáreo de Granito de Tupungato was produced with grapes from Gualtallary Albo (Tupungato Winelands) on alluvial granite soils with lots of calcium carbonate. It fermented in 5,000-liter oak cask and 300-liter amphorae with indigenous yeasts. This is a little riper than previous vintages, showing graphite notes, wild and energetic, with chalky, fine-grained tannins that give it more grip. It finishes saltier. 6,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2021. In some countries, this is labeled as Gualtallary, but they have problems with others. Drink: 2022-2027. (11/30/22)"
94 points Tim Atkin, MW: "Vines on calcium carbonate soils within the Tupungato Winelands estate supply the fruit for what Matías Michelini calls “our chalkiest red”. Chiselled and refreshing, it has the understated oak that’s part of the SuperUco style, red cherry, cranberry and bramble fruit and sculpted tannins. 2024-2030. (2022)"
