This is so fresh, dark, vibrant and juicy, it&#8217;s like drinking a really good cask sample. And sometimes that&#8217;s just what you want. Youthful essence of ripe Malbec in a glass. Sweet, floral, packed with well defined fruit and utterly, utterly drinkable. It&#8217;s almost \u00a350 on the list, but this is the Gaucho we are talking about: very expensive, but very, very good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Met up with my buddy and co-author Sam Harrop today for lunch.
