Achaval-Ferrer Malbec 2005
Mendoza, ArgentinaSmoky, tarry, spicy, peppery, gamey, sausage, floral nose with some vanilla and plum jam in the background. Ripe, round, elegant, smooth and dry but slightly leaner style with good acidity. Coffee, tobacco, black cherry, minty, savoury, tarry, orange flavours with a touch of smoky bacon and vanilla on the finish. Nice intensity and finesse without being too big. A very good match for grilled meats.Tasted: 13 May 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $26.90 | 750ml | specialty listing |
