Reserve Valle de Uco Merlot

Grillatun flankin tai riistan kanssa. Karpaloa ja puolukkaa.

Yep we literally are living out of our suitcases until all our stuff arrives from Perth which means dinner on the floor with plastic plates & cutlery. We’re also trying to save money due to launching a small business which means food & wine from Aldi. This is one of their $10 reds from Argentina 🇦🇷.

It’s a typical colour for a Malbec - deep purple-y red. The nose is also deep and dark with black plums and spice dominating for me. In the mouth it’s juicy and easy drinking. It’s your every day quaffable red wine. The decent tannin and acidity suggests it’d be a great bbq meat feast wine. Mr. Spittoon didn’t really agree with the 93 points by James Suckling sticker on the label, even for the $10 price tag 😳

All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #tcweekdaywine #tctastingnotes

Great Argentine

Typical Malbec with blackberry. Slightly chilled, went well with sushi. Costco $12.99.

Tasty and would get again

Better than expected. Deep color, smooth dark berry flavor. Enjoyed with dinner.

fruity notes, black current, not complex

Great value. High acidity and needs to be served with something fatty next time.

Well worth keeping this for Xmas eve dinner, with steak and Chimichurri sauce. Marvellous!!

Will buy again
