James Suckling
A fruity malbec with some tart dark cherries, plums, dried herbs and spices. Medium-bodied with firm tannins. Juicy, fleshy and an easy-to-drink style.

The Paul Mas Reserve Single Vineyard Malbec is sourced exclusively from the Gardemiel Vineyard in the Languedoc region of South-West France.
‘Gardemiel’, which means ‘place where the honey is kept’, is located 200km from Cahors, the historic birthplace of the Malbec grape variety.
In this vineyard, in the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains, the Malbec grape has a unique flavour profile.
Ageing: 30% of the blend is aged in new oak barrels for four months.
