My enthusiasm for Tapiz reds is based on a recent tasting in London of some of the Argentine wines imported into the UK

For sheer value I was particularly taken by the current release of Tapiz's regular version of Mendoza's classic grape variety, Tapiz, Agrelo Malbec 2007 Luján de Cuyo. The nose was intriguingly, even tautly, mocha but there was none of the heavy syrupiness of texture or hot, alcoholic finish that used to dog many Argentine reds. What I loved about it was that it had such great intensity of flavour, but also great balance with wonderful freshness on the finish and yet seemed to have enough structure to be worth ageing for two or three years too.Coincidentally I visited Club Tapiz on my last visit to Argentina and was impressed by the smart little hotel and and restaurant they have created on this old homestead with stunning views just outside Mendoza. www.jancisrobinson.com
