"The 2022 Malbec Reserva is sourced from Luján de Cuyo and Uco Valley, Mendoza. Aged for up to 12 months in oak barrels, this purple-red wine offers reductive-like aromas of plums, violets and wild herbs, complemented by cedar and pennyroyal notes. Dry and juicy on the palate, the nimble flow contributes to a cheerful mouthfeel, enhanced by slightly plush tannins. A modern expression of Mendoza-style Malbec, the 2022 bursts with fruity richness."

"Very recently bottled, so a little stubborn and muted (even after having been decanted for a couple of hours) – and although I've noted to drink from 2024, I would leave this until the second half or even end of 2024 before opening. Tobacco-leaf on the nose and then both floral and gamey. Iris and violets dancing over roast-venison base notes. Vigorous, fiercely salty freshness. Mouth-filling, with roundness and supple tannins. The finish is lightly chewy with good length and leaves the distinctive, satisfying, linger fragrance and spice-herbiness of freshly cured tobacco leaf. "

"Blueberries and bramble berries with hints of bark and earth that follow through to a medium body with juiciness and savoriness. Shows real malbec character. Some sour berry undertones. Drink now."
