Altar Uco, Edad Moderna Blend, 2022, Argentina

This red Bordeaux blend from Altar Uco in Mendoza is rather good. There’s lots in this dry red wine with firm tannins and plenty of black fruit with tobacco,  leather, oak, coffee and a slight earthy undertone all integrated very well.

With Cab Sav, Cab Franc, Merlot and Malbec it makes the most of each grapes strengths. That said at £17 a bottle it’s not cheap, that’s a shame.
