Bodega Poesia - Clos Des Andes 2006 12x 75cl Bottles
The 2006 Clos des Andes is 100% Malbec sourced from an 80-year-old vineyard in Lujan de Cuyo and aged for 12 months in 50% new French oak. Dark ruby/purple in colour, it offers up an alluring bouquet of pain grille, pencil lead, spice box, and black cherry. This leads to a wine with excellent density, layered fruit, and spicy black fruit flavours nicely concealing enough structure for 2-3 years of further development. This rich, well-balanced effort will be at its best from 2010 to 2019. These days if youre drinking a Malbec its probably from Argentina. The most planted grape in that country, varietally-labeled Argentine Malbecs are one of the wine markets great values, prized for their slight herbal component and dark, luscious fruit. Structurally, Argentinas Malbecs are much
different than those grown in the grapes native France; they are riper, fruitier and fleshier. In France, the best iterations of Malbec can be found in the Cahors, where it can be quite decadent. It is also planted in the Loire Valley, where it is called Cot and is often blended with Cabernet Sauvignon or Gamay, and in Bordeaux, where it has fallen from favour in many of the regions great blends because it is difficult to grow. In the United States, the varietal is frequently added to Meritage wines - Bordeaux style blends - but it is rarely found on its own. Argentina is regarded as one of the most dynamic wine-producing nations in the world, and possibly the most important wine-producing region in South America. Only four countries in the world produce more wine than Argentina.
Considerable investments (much of which has come from famous French, Italian and California wine producers) have been made in new vineyards and winemaking technology in the past several years, which along with recent plantings of more premium varieties of grapes, has made Argentina much more competitive internationally. The Mendoza region is the most important region in Argentinas wine industry. And Malbec, among other Bordeaux varietals grown here, reigns supreme
