"Blackberry, crushed-stone, lavender and iodine aromas follow through to a medium to full body with very refined, polished tannins that provide balance and refinement. Such purity and beauty. Beautiful old-vine malbec. Subtle is the word to describe this." - James Suckling
"The 2018 Malbec Viejos Viñedos En Pie Franco is made with grapes from Las Compuertas and Vistalba, Luján de Cuyo and aged for 16 months in French barrels. A terroir-focused red, the expression is precisely judged, offering ripe plum with hints of white pepper and cherry over a bed of violets and oak. In the mouth, it offers muscle without pressing too hard, a broad, voluminous flow and well-judged freshness that ensures a long finish in which the fruit takes charge. Will improve in the bottle." - Vinous
Lovely ready now dry red. What You expect from down that way with no rough edges and just enough tannin to give it some grunt. Very good value at this price.
Have been buying this wine for years (and years). Consistently delivers a beautiful, savoury rhone wine experience. Definitely punches above its weight. Deep garnet, full bodied, leathery with light spice notes.
Dark, medium to full bodied, with mature flavours starting to evolve. Excellent value, typical Bordeaux wine. Could easily become our house favourite! Delivers very good value for the price.
