Escorihuela 1884 Reservado Malbec 2009

Mendoza, ArgentinaA wine list stalwart in Vancouver the 1884 is classic malbec with its intense colour, peppery savoury fruit and plush character. I'm happy to report this version is drier than previous efforts making it easier to get through the bottle. Crazy value at $18 and works well the most anything on the barbecue. Still young and fresh with some gritty tannins but they will dissipate going forward.Tasted: 25 July 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
