96 Pts - Tim Atkin This wine has an intense red-violet colour. The nose is delicate, with aromas of violet flowers, menthol, spices and black fruits. In the mouth, ripe and structured tannins, and liquorice notes. Long and persistent finish. Exceptional specimen! In 2008, Fabian Valenzuela – chief oenologist at bodega Tapiz – was selecting the components of Tapiz Seleccion de Barricas. This consisted on tasting the contents of the oak barles (225 lts capacity each) where the wines harvested in 2006 from the best plots of land were being aged for almost two years by then. This is done every year, and Seleccion de Barricas is a blend of the barriques selected in this process. That particular year, when he tasted one of the Malbec barrels, he was in awe with the deep dark colour of the wine, and the amazing concentration of flavours it presented. When pouring it in a glass and swirling it a direct image came to his mind with the drops of wines that were produced: black tears (lágrimas negras). It was at that point that he decided to make a single variety top end wine from this wine. He identified the plot of land the grapes came from, and created a new product which became iconic: Black tears Malbec

Vibrant and juicy nose of fresh blackberry with a hint of dark chocolate. The palate is rich and juicy.

This is the estate's entry level Malbec and it is absolutely delicious. Ripe fruit without being jammy, there is a lots of black cherry and plum aroma with a touch of spice. Easy-going palate with mouth-filling fruit, elegant tannins and velvety mouthfeel. Very easy to drink but satisfying with BBQ or steak. Bodega Sottano was founded in 1890 by Mr. Fioravante Sottano who settled in Mendoza after moving from Italy. Today the estate is a byword for quality, modern Mendoza wines that express a delicious sense of place.

Pungent aromas of plum, wild strawberries, cherry and toasted spice. An elegant palate, with soft, velvety tannins, and a refreshingly fruity finish. Subtle touches of spice come from 10% of wine being aged for three months in oak.

A deeply coloured, dark and dried fruit scented hearty red with a touch of coffee and vanilla. Lots of fruit, soft and ripe tannins and a lick of acidity lead to a chocolatey finish. Great value and good to drink on its own or with bbq.

Bright and deep purple colour. Aromas of black fruits, reminiscent of fresh plums mixed with graphite notes. On the palate, the wine is balanced and energetic, with sweet and round tannins and long finish.

Fruity, brambly and supple, this distinctly Argentinian Malbec will impress with generous lashing of plum, blackberry and hints of vanilla spice.

A harmonious Malbec, packed full of blueberry, blackcurrant and plum and a complex and delicious finish. Vegan.

Part of the world-class Hess Family estates of Napa. Parker 90/100. One of the highest vineyards in the world. Complete, multi-layered, complex and astonishing value for such a polished beauty. Spice box, touch of char, chocolate, so broad, evolved, SO serious, dramatic and intense. The Cab Franc adds a perfect lift to the chunky Malbec - surprising that this blend isn't seen more often. Thoroughly recommended. Vegan, sustainable

Marcello Pelleriti is one of the leading lights of Argentinian wine making. He trained under the legendary Michel Rolland in Bordeaux and every September and October migrates to France where he is winemaker of Chateau Violette and Chateau Le Gay. It was making wine under the Chateau Violette name that lead to him being the first Argentinian to receive 100pts from wine critic Robert Parker. Deep and complex, there’s notes of red fruits, black fruits, spice and floral notes- think plum, sweet spices and violet. A delicate wine on the palate, with round tannins. Elegant and persistent. Perfect pairing for lamb shanks or grilled steaks. Classic pairings you can’t go wrong with!

James Suckling 94 Points A top blend from Marcello here. His wines are all natural, and we are delighted to have them back after an absence of a couple of years. This blend (2015 vintage) is produced from handpicked grapes which underwent a micro fermentation with natural yeasts prior to being aged in oak for 20 months. This is a seriously good wine, more savoury and elegant than fruit driven, with noticeable vanilla on the finish.

This iconic Argentinean red is made in a modern style by the famed French wine consultant, Michel Rolland, who is a part owner of Clos de Los Siete. Rich and satisfying and great to drink on its own or with meaty dishes. A blend of Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet, Syrah, Petit Verdot and even a dash of Cabernet Franc Clos de los Siete is the result of a venture undertaken by a group of French winegrowers. It is located at the foot the Andes mountain range, in the heart of the Uco Valley, at the district of Vista Flores, Tunuyán. The vineyards spread across 850 hectares (2100 acres) at an altitude of 1,000-1,200 metres above sea level.

Intense purple red in colour typical of the varietal. On the nose, notes of fresh red fruits, such as plum, cherries and strawberries with sweet notes of chocolate that reflects the 10 months the wine has spent in French oak. The wine has a rich rounded style with mouth filling Malbec fruit, and a long length to the finish. Produced from grapes grown in two different vineyards the LOS NOGALES ESTATE at an altitude of 3346 feet (1020 meters) above sea level. The grapes from this property give a special elegance to the wine with a very good balance of flavours, colour and structure, and pronounced malbec aromas. The other estate SAN PABLO is at an altitude of 4430 feet (1350 meters) above sea level and is characterized by cold nights due to the proximity of the mountains and its altitude, and the grapes here give the wine a rich intensity in colour, aroma and structure, which help to produce this premium Malbec.

Intense aroma of ripe red fruit and jam. The vanilla and toasted are present in equilibrium with the fruit. On the palate the tannins are soft. Balanced and long finish.
