My top three Fabre Montmayou, Reservado, Mendoza, Argentina 2015

Blueberry and cassis aromas mingle with mint, eucalyptus and lavender. Great tension and freshness. Perfect balance; tannins are ripe but firm, with a great potential. 97 Drink 2020-2026

Trapiche, Gran Medalla, Mendoza, Argentina 2014

What a lovely wine! Elegant and energetic, with nervy acidity, good concentration and layers of flavour. Powerful and muscular but without excess; a beautiful expression of the grape. 95 Drink 2018-2024

Andeluna, Pasionado, Gualtallary, Argentina 2014

An Argentinian wine for St-Emilion lovers! A fantastic combination of wild terroir with more disciplined fruit. A very elegant style, thanks to skilled winemaking and the fresh 2014 vintage. 94 Drink 2018-2023
