Big Bat Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Item Code: 4133515

Description

Winemaker behind our Waxed Bat red, Opi Sadler has outshone himself with this terrific Cabernet release. Scoring 95 points from James Suckling it has seven years maturity, making it mellow, complex and brooding with dark, peppery fruit.



Opi Sadler has brought us the customer favourite ‘Waxed Bat’, now he presents the ‘Big Bat’. If you didn’t think a wine could get any richer, silkier and packed with luxurious layers of flavour, you were mistaken. But then, Opi is one of Argentina’s most internationally renowned winemakers and he adores the Cabernet Sauvignon grape.

To achieve such an ageworthy perfection, he selected grapes from the finest, high-altitude vineyards in Altamira, Uco Valley, ageing this grand red for 18 months in French oak barrels. This lends a spicy edge to the rich black fruits. Opi states that Argentina makes "undoubtedly the best Cabernet wines in the world". A big statement, but judging by this wine, he may well be right. An elegant, mature steak red.

HJ Fabre GGG Malbec 2019

Item Code: 4003719

Description

As Decanter’s Andrew Jefford says, “There is no Mendoza winery for which I have had more long-term admiration than Fabre Montmayou … [the wines] have had a texture and innate classiness and finesse from the first.”

Originally from Bordeaux, Hervé Fabre is now famous for his award-winning Argentine reds. His wines are indeed admirable, but it is the HJ Fabre GGG Malbec 2019 (GGG is Gran Grande Gualtallary in short) that is really special. A cool, high-altitude region in Mendoza’s Uco Valley, Gualtallary is garnering lots of recognition and a cult following for its amazing reds. On the nose, look forward to complex cherry, slate and dark chocolate – even just the aroma is completely mesmerising! On the palate, discover blueberries, plum, black pepper and oak on a long, layered finish. This is superb – a must-have for lovers of fine Argentine Malbec.
