San Juan, ArgentinaI continue to be impressed by this firm, stony, blackberry, inky, juicy red that overdelivers for its minimal price. It’s tannat but in a much softer, more approachable style than you normally encounter. The palate is long and rich with warm sticky tannins and a waft of pipe tobacco. All this requires is a hamburger, or a spaghetti Bolognese dish to tame its youth. Decant and air for 30 minutes for best results. Fine value if you like your reds rich and big and youthful.Tasted: 05 November 2018Tasted by: Prices:

San Juan, ArgentinaThis big, brooding tannat benefits from airtime, so decant or open well in advance (I went for a full day). Wild blackberry, black cherry, inky plum cloak a juicy core, fired by sun-warmth and housed with sticky tannins. Pipe tobacco, espresso and purple florals tie this up, finishing with a wash of sea salts and kept afloat with a wave of blue-stone acidity. For all its potency, and warming finish, this is a respectable 13.5 degrees.Tasted: 04 October 2018Tasted by: Prices:
