Finca Sophenia, Altosur Malbec 2021 - 97 Points Decanter - Wine Of The Week - Tom Cannavan

Finca Sophenia, Altosur Malbec 2021
Mendoza, Argentina, Dry Red, Screwcap, 13.5% ABV
"(2023) If you follow the results of the various wine competitions, then how about a 97-point wine for just £12.95, the award coming from Decanter magazine? This Malbec, from vineyards at 1,200 metres in the Tupungato Valley, was made with the assistance of consultant Michel Rolland. It really is a lovely wine - it would not score 97 points from me, but that's unimportant. What is important is that it is a svelte and luxurious, deeply-black fruited Malbec that also shows the fragrant, violet-scented side of the variety. Plush and mouth-filling too, the sweet richness of the fruit is offset by creamy tannins and pert cherry acidity. Excellent value for money - whatever the points score.
