Mendoza, ArgentinaThis is bulls eye malbec from Luigi Bosca, deep purple in the glass and possessing pure aromas of crushed wild berries, foliage, and earth. Ripe, plummy flavours are balanced by zippy acidity and sleek tannins that stretch into a lithe, minerally finish. The intensity of biodynamically farmed old vines (50 years on average) helps to convey the unique site conditions of Lujan de Cuyo. It's a terrific value, impeccably made, and worthy of pasta tossed with grilled veg or smoky beef fajitas.Tasted: 23 February 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Mendoza, ArgentinaA steady, value-for-money performer, the latest edition comes from an outstanding year in Argentina. At 50+ years old, the east-facing, biodynamically farmed vines are matured at Finca La Linda, at 950m above sea level in Luján de Cuyo. The nose and palate are rich and expressive, offering black plum flecked with blueberries and black raspberries, spending a year in French oak to round out the edges and firm up the tannins. This one is age-worthy, but you can drink now with grilled beef or the classic Italian offering, spaghetti Bolognese. Good value.Tasted: 16 February 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Mendoza, ArgentinaThis classic malbec comes off vines averaging 35 years in Luján de Cuyo and Uco Valley. After a ferment in stainless, this rests in French oak for one year. Rich blackberry is laced with espresso, fragrant cherry, perfumed plums, anise, and peppery spicing. Tannins are long, firm, yet supple, hugging this to a lingering, sweetly spiced and medicinal finish. Grilled beets, beefs work here.Tasted: 23 February 2021Tasted by: Prices:
