Alc 14% La Luz, Callejón del Crimen, Blend de Terroirs, Uco Valley, Mendoza 2019 Perfumed and inviting, with aromatics of lifted herb, pure fruit and a lovely floral lift, then on to a palate of plush plum, silky violet, bright cherry, spice and supple, succulent tannins. World class Malbec! Alc 14.5% Bodegas Callia, Contracara Reserva, Pedernal Valley, San Juan 2020 Perfumed and very inviting, with a pretty nose of lifted fresh herb, heady eucalyptus, herbaceous fresh grass, pure dark fruit and seductive mineral notes, then on to an elegant palate laced with polishes, sleek oak. Alc 14.5% Bemberg, La Linterna Finca La Yesca Parcela No 13, Pedernal Valley, San Juan 2015 The palate is braced with a lively acidity, a note of black tea and beautiful, textured supple tannins. Inviting, with an opulent, smoky nose layered with toast, cedar, black fruit and just the hint of sleek oak. Platinum Argento, Single Vineyard Organic, Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza 2020 Can anywhere in the world compete with red-wine value of this order at present? Alc 14% You might, from the aromas, be expecting a fruit bomb – but this is purer, finer and fresher than that, with ample sinew, sap and ripely leafy inner freshness. It’s opulently fruity too, with billowing damson and sloe pointed up by notes of tea leaf and rose. As with its peers, this wine is a dense, opaque purple-black-red in colour with huge saturation on the sides of the glass after a swirl. Three of the four Argentinian wines winning their way through to Best In Show this year come from Uco, and this splendid Malbec is the second Value Best In Show from Uco, too, underscoring the colossal potential on offer here. Alc 14% Morrisons, The Best Gran Montaña Reserve Malbec, Uco Valley, Mendoza 2020 Value Best In Show wines rarely exceed the appeal you’ll find here. Better still, in place of overt tannins and intrusive acidity there is a kind of sappy, stemmy freshness which combines the function of both texture and acidity – and that, in fact, is the origin of the fruit’s notable energy and charm. There’s admirable weight, lyricism and lift to those fruits: Gualtallery is never clumsy. It’s initially beefy and purposeful in aroma, the plum and sloe fruits emerging in purer form with time in the glass or the decanter. It’s fair to say that no other country delivered value in this year’s DWWA to match that sent over to us from Argentina, and this saturatedly dense, dark Malbec from the prized highlands of Gualtallary makes this point admirably.
