Natalie's Score: 92/100

A luscious, deeply flavoured Argentine red wine made from the country's iconic red grape Malbec. Aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, pencil led and violets on the nose with nervy acidity. Full-bodied, smooth and luscious. The DOC of Lujan de Cuyo in Mendoza was created in 1989 to protect the Malbec grape. The vines are planted at 960 metres above sea level. The vineyard is 90 years old. The wine was aged for 14 months in oak barrels. Decant 1 hour and pair with grilled steak.

Malbec food pairings: grilled lamb, Mediterranean roast of pork, grilled sausages.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Lovely! Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, violets, graphite, leather and smoke. Full bodied, with vibrant acidity and smooth tannins. Ripe luscious fruit on the palate and a slightly smoky finish. Enjoy with grilled steak.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
