Achaval Ferrer Finca Bella Vista Malbec, Perdriel, 2014 Argentina Bodega Vistalba oven dried sweet cherry tomatoesToasty oak gives lots of sweet spice and chocolate character here, followed by blackberries, blueberries and hints of nori, flint and violet extract. Really precise on the palate, showing ripe but freshly crushed blueberries and flowers. Really long, focused finish. Give it a year to let the oak settle, even if it drinks effortlessly now. 96 Pts James Suckling
