Achával-Ferrer
Finca Bella Vista Perdriel Malbec
Lujan De Cuyo, Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
Tried a few years ago, tasting great now. Founded in 1998, Achaval-Ferrer is a team of friends who make great wines. Was lucky enough to get a taste of this beauty again. Deep Ruby with aromas of fresh berry fruits with complex spice and floral notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and rich blackberry with tobacco and cacao. Sweet fine soft tannins, long finish, well balanced with acidity ending with mineral, spice and berry fruit character. Tasting Sample.

Still vibrant and intense. Violets and plums. Hints of tobacco and rose. Very good and time ahead.

Jun 20th, 2020Founded 1998, Achaval-Ferrer is a team of friends who make great wines. I believe this is the last of my A-F tastings, interesting fact, that all of their wines are bottled without fining or filtering. There is additional risk in this, but they prefer not to strip the wine of subtle flavors & aromas. Very dark red with aromas of black fruits, floral spice & hints of sweet notes. Layers of fruit, lively acidity, espresso & toasty notes, good balance. Fine tannins, lingering, with earthy mineral character.

An aromatic, very expressive behemoth. Coming from the arid Argentinian Andes foothills, this is a fantastically concentrated wine: the yield PER PLANT is less than a pound of grapes or 1/3 bottle of wine (!). Didn't finish it all and will be tested in 24 hours. Let's see.

May 19th, 201416.5+/20 (90+/100) В первом носе преобладают тона хлеба и сыра бри; в развитии вино раскрывается ароматами чёрных ягод и ванили. Умеренная тельность, довольно высокая кислотность и бархатистыми танинами. Насыщенное во вкусе с продолжительным послевкусием. Самое скромное из линейки «Finca». Молодо, требует пары лет выдержки в бутылки чтобы аромат полностью устаканился.

This exudes such class. Big League/ Hall of Fame type wine for the area. Not cheap, but certainly worth the asking price.
