Malbec
Malbec is a red grape whose home is in south-west France, and specifically in the appellation of Cahors.
There (known as Cot) it makes a strongly flavoured wine which is, all too often, tannic and rustic and needs several years ageing to show its best.
Like Carmenère in Chile, it is much more successful in Argentina than in its homeland. Introduced in the mid 19th...

Carinae, Malbec, Odile, Mendoza, 2023
Under a gold-starred, somewhat revolutionary label. From Carinae’s 90 year old vines at Cruz de Piedra, Maipú, just to the south of Mendoza. Terrific raspberry and blackberry flavours. Lovely fat and texture with gentle tannins. Easy-drinking but with plenty of substance too. Now-2028

Carinae
Mendoza, Argentina
Frenchman Philippe Subra, with his wife Brigitte, came to Argentina as the national boss of EDF, the French energy giant - but loved the country so much he cleverly bought some long-established vineyards and settled there, on the south side of Mendoza. He has built a small cellar - boutique indeed, whilst wholly lacking the pretension that word implies!

Carinae, Malbec, 225E, Mendoza, 2022
225 is an open cluster in the constellation Cassiopeia - hence the excitingly spaced out label. This is a super, nicely ready, Ronseal (does what it says on the tin), well-oaked Mendoza Malbec. It's based on splendid fruit from the very old wines at the Carinae estate, now almost within the spreading southern edge of the city. Lovely deep hue. Deliciously ripe and fleshy, all gorgeous and dense brambly and cherry fruit with just the right acidity to balance the lush fruit flavours....

Carinae, Malbec, Anos Luz, Mendoza, 2019
Años Luz = Light years. Very deep and opaque tone. Enticing scent of black fruit wrapped in cigar-box. Very powerful and intense but also silky and graceful. Solid underpinning of tannins. Attractively mature and all in harmony. Definitive steak wine – but not just for steak! Now-2031
