Held at Ray & June’s on Monday 20th March where we once again enjoyed our hosts excellent hospitality.
WINE NO 1. 2021 FINCA LALANDE ORGANIC MALBEC. MENDOZA ARGENTINA. 14%.VOL. PURCHASED FROM WAITROSE AT £8.
This offering had a bright healthy appearance, with a ruby colouring. The bouquet was pleasant with a little, medium intensity. We found it difficult to suggest a character to the wine.
There was sweetness on the tongue, and with balanced acidity and good tannins it had a medium body. Good fruit taste in the mouth gave it a long lasting flavour.
We enjoyed this wine and gave it a score of 8.5/10.
