    Jane Anson,
    Inside Bordeaux
    Violets and herb-strewn rose petals curl out of the glass, along with cola, mint, flint, slate, hawthorn, blueberry and black cherry fruit. One of the things that I love about this wine is how it rewrites the perception of Argentinian Malbec that is is known for its velvety sweet and smooth flavours, whereas this puts the texture and the grip back to its heart, along with a vivid brightness of fruit. There is chocolate here, but it is cocoa bean, focused and gripping and full of joy. Alejandro Vigil winemaker. Tasted twice.

    The 2021 Malbec Adrianna Vineyard Mundus Basilus is sourced from a small plot in Gualtallary, characterized by shallow soils enriched with underground fauna, which lends its name to the wine. It displays a dark purple hue. The nose unveils alluring notes of lavender, huacatay and violets, complemented by hints of curry, black tea and orange peel. With a dry profile and supple tannins, the chalky texture and juicy flow lead to a compellingly structured and taut mouthfeel. This lingering red wine offers a prolonged herbal-like finish, showcasing a rare combination of flavorful richness and nuanced subtlety.
