LARSSON TASTING- RESULTS

Sommelier World Champion 2007 Andreas Larsson published his Argentinean wine tasting results at VINEXPO in Bordeaux last june. Out of almost 200 wines tasted blind, Alpamanta Reserva Malbec 2007 was awarded the best Premium Malbec of the 2007 vintage and one of the 12 best overall.
Also the Estate Malbec 2007 got excellent results and was rated as one of the best Malbecs in its category:

2007 - ALPAMANTA RESERVA MALBEC -MENDOZA
Wild dark berries, some hints of truffle and smoke, very structured and
concentrated palate, dark fruit, silky tannins and layers of complex flavours, very long finish,
really good potential, should age very well.


2007 - ALPAMANTA ESTATE MALBEC- LUJAN DE CUYO
Pure and fruity nose, some floral hints and freshly crushed berries, well balanced
with a good freshness and crunchy dark fruit, fairly long.
