Joffre Malbec 2006, RJ Vinedos |
 £12.99 per bottle £155.88 per case
Here’s another reason why wines from the Uco Valley have gained such an excellent reputation. This outstanding Malbec made from old vines grown in their own vineyards at Los Sauces. The colour is wonderfully attractive with deep, intense ruby and shades of purple. The nose is highly expressive with perfumed aromas of redcurrant, blueberry and black forest fruits layered on top of ripe figs, some jammy fruit, hints of sweet spice, vanilla and chocolate and showing some signs of maturity. In the mouth the fresh fruits, soft juicy tannins and alcohol are all exquisitely balanced and followed through by a sweet, savoury and persistent finish. Grand Malbec indeed!
Drink: Now until 2014
Drink with: Good with steaks, red meats, pasta dishes and meaty fish.
