Ben says
★ Good Wine “A very purple wine. Slightly too much sulfur on the nose, leading to a little eggy note, but under that there’s some dark blue fruit and woodchip. As far as Malbecs go, the hallmarks are there of black fruits, dark choc and tannins. Those tannins are a little smoky and there’s a green line through the wine, but it finishes with surprising structure and length. If you want a good, gutsy red, this isn’t a bad shout.“

KEY POINTS
Varietal Malbec with 13.5% abv.
Grown in: Uco Valley, Mendoza, ARGENTINA.
Food Pairing
The green line through the Malbec is going to be perfect for aubergine, so give this a go with a rich moussaka and you won’t be disappointed.
