Achaval Ferrer & Pascual Toso in the Spotlight
The Wine Enthusiast reviews two of TGIC’s Argentine Malbecs: Achaval Ferrer Finca Bella Vista 2007 and Pascual Toso Alta Reserva 2007. The article, which appears online, features the Achaval Ferrer bottle in a photograph under the banner “Malbec in the Spotlight.” Both wines received 93 Point accolades through the magazine.
The Finca Bella Vista is described as:
Electric purple in color, with a concentrated nose of mineral, black plum and toast. The palate is lush and giant, which is reflective of Perdriel in Mendoza’s traditional midsection, but balanced by natural acidity and fine tannins. Huge berry and plum flavors are dense, and vanilla, coffee and herb flavors grace the finish. Drink now through 2016.
A tasting note for the Alta Reserva reads:
All early signs say this one is here for the long haul; it is aggressive but serious, with fine acids and tannins hoisting deep black plum and berry flavors. Chocolate, mocha and pepper work the long finish. Best now through 2013.
