Gualtallary, Tupungato, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaDarting dark florals and a smouldering bacon rule this malbec, grown at the high altitude at Finca Alluvia in Gualtallary (Tupungato, Uco Valley) and Finca Los Indios in Altamira (San Carlos, Uco Valley). Ten months in French barrique certainly contribute to the structure and smoky sultriness, though the plush, ripe blueberry, plum, and cassis fruit override that, well absorbing any wood aggression. As intended, this big red is meant for equally sized BBQ meats or veg.Tasted: 04 August 2020Tasted by: Prices: BC 18.99 BCLS

Gualtallary, Tupungato, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaFrom Finca Alluvia in Gualtallary (Tupungato, Uco Valley) and Finca Los Indios in Altamira (San Carlos, Uco Valley this shows abundant ripeness with dense, dark berry fruits that are framed by a gravel minerality and smoky, toasty oak after ageing in French barriques for 10 months. It has no shortage of extraction: it’s bold and full-bodied, but the tannin quality suffers as a result, with a harsh, gritty character. The components are all here, but it could use a touch more finesse.Tasted: 19 June 2020Tasted by: Prices: BC 18.99 BCLS
