A magnificent young wine, the powerful and gifted 2011 Altocedro Malbec Gran Reserva simply takes over the palate and demand attention. Not just another ultra rich wine, this one has the undeniable soul of the ages. Made from vines that are over 100 years old, one gets the sense of place. Drawn from La Consulta in the Valle de Uco from the vast district of Mendoza, this wine stand proudly on the international stage! Black currants, tar and earth gush out as soon as the wine hits the glass. This is one of my top wines of the year! #malbec #argentina #redwine #mendoza #valledeuco #laconsulta #altocedro #karimmussisaffie

Wow, what a Malbec. Produced by a renowned Lebanese winemaker who owns Alandes vineyards. Full bodied (for a Malbec)
delicious dark berries (blueberry, plums, black currant), with complementary tannins, and hints of peppery notes. It’s complex but overall very elegant tasting almost like a Californian Cab Sav. One of our favourites.
