Gestos Malbec Finca Flichman 2008. V rich + fruity plums. Elegant but heavy (14%) so best drunk with food. Majestic £6.99. @Jaynehowarth (Notes: 50% of the grapes are from 1,100 metres – for freshness; 50% are from 700 metres for colour and density)

Har druckit några viner på senaste tiden som kan rekommenderas eller undvikas. Riktigt bra är: Fetzer Barrel Select Zinfandel 2006 för 119 kronor. Mycket fruktigt och gott. Bra till kött och på egen hand. Guigal Côtes-du-Rhône 2005 för 99 kronor. Klassiskt matvin. Smakar som om det kostar mycket mer ...
