3 x Jean-Luc Baldès Malbec du Clos Cahors, France, Alc vol:13.50%
This wine has all the powerful, concentrated black fruit, open texture and complex earthy backbone that are characteristic of Malbec grapes grown in Cahors. Clos Triguedina is recognised as one of the finest of Cahors’ estates and winemaker Jean-Luc Baldès is renowned for his mastery of this variety. Delicious with richly sauced meat dishes.
3 x Finca Flichman Reserve Malbec Mendoza, Argentina, Alc vol:13.50%
A concentrated, deep violet, cherry-flavoured Malbec with remarkable complexity and length thanks to careful selection of grapes in the vineyard, and again in the winery. Flichman has superb sites around the city of Mendoza, getting tremendous quality into the bottle. Try this with braised lamb shanks.
3 x Santa Julia Malbec Mendoza, Argentina, Alc vol:13.50%
This soft, easy-drinking Malbec has partial and subtle oak ageing, leaving the emphasis on the fruit rather than heavyweight complexity. The silky palate, with spice, damson and black cherry flavours, is lightly balanced with some chocolate tones on the finish. Enjoy with pasta or try with Oriental dishes.
3 x Trivento Malbec Mendoza, Argentina, Alc vol:14.00%
The plum and raspberry aromas of this bright crimson red mingle elegantly with vanilla notes from six months spent in French and American oak.
