Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: The world is certainly passionate about Argentine Malbec, and really, can you blame us? Here is another excellent example of what all the noise is about. Crowd-pleasing, flavour-packed, and beautifully structured, textured and balanced, this wine is simply bursting with flair. My note: Lip-smacking tasty with big juicy purple plums, fleshy blueberries and just enough oak. An upfront wine that pulls no punches. Food matches: barbecued back ribs, steak.

Natalie who?
Yes, I'm a certified sommelier and was named the World's Best Wine Writer at the World Food Media Awards. Blah, blah, blah. What really matters is that I know which wines can increase your hedonistic happiness... a lot. Don't worry, spam doesn't pair well with wine!
