Something for sausages and mash. Nothing too extravagant as its just me and the cats tonight. A bottle of Malbec might just fit the bill, well it is going to have to do as its about the cheapest thing in the rack.
Wine Tasting Note:Balbi Malbec, 2004, Mendoza, Argentina.Threshers £6.99.
An Argentinean with a spice and blackberry nose over a plate medium-bodied in stature. A layer of acidity dominates the palate indicating food is required here. Blackcurrant and raspberry, medium to full bodied. Apart from the noticeable acidity soft and rather drinkable. But not, by far, the best Malbec available. With sausages (and of course other meaty foods) very nice so add two points. If taking advantage of the Threshers three for two deal, which brings this to a more reasonable price, add a further two. Alcohol 13.5%.
