Tanzer tasting notes

Stephen Tanzer just published his yearly review on the Argentinean wines and selected 2 of our wines as top of his list this year.

Alpamanta Estate Malbec 2008- Bright medium ruby, Dark fruits, smoked meat, nutty oak, coffee and a whiff of truffle on the slightly porty nose. Fat and sweet with flavours of coffee, truffle and game lifted by sound acidity. Not exactly a subtle style but not cooked. The sweet, pliant fruit lingers nicely on the back end, where the tannins are supple and ripe.

Alpamanta Reserva Malbec 2007- Full medium ruby. Complex aromas of plum, currant, smoke, coffee, chocolate and truffle.
