Andean Vineyards Reserve Malbec 2017
Mendoza, ArgentinaNever judge a wine by its label, and this is a good example. Always a tasty malbec, it has all the touchpoints in 2017. The attack is ripe and juicy, the fruit black and savoury with a peppery herbal finish and a fraction of sticky tannins poised to take on grilled meats, a mushroom pizza, or spaghetti Bolognese. It’s ready to drink but would be happy with a splash decant and 30 minutes in a decanter.Tasted: 05 July 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $21.49 | 750ml | select private retailers |
