Clos de las Seite 2008 (Mendoza)

Tasted 8/10/11 with Clem, Ian and Sara on our 'South American tasting night'.
14% ABV, about £11 UK retail (various offers push it sub-£10 at the moment). The classic blend that has prevailed - Malbec with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Petit Verdot. Deep purple colour. Coffee, pimento and blackcurrants on the nose. The tannins are silky and there's lot of elegant dark fruit on the palate. Very well made and a bargain. From 2011, 16.5/20
