Description

James Suckling Review
Rated 96 Points
A nuanced but deep nose, showing crushed stones, fresh and glossy blackberries and blueberries, then flowers, asphalt, cocoa powder and chalk. Broad, exuberant and concentrated, but not at all heavy. This is juicy and so polished and dense, with silky, chalky tannins to coat the blueberry fruit. Fleshy, tight and seamless. Long and so seductive now. 85% malbec and 15% cabernet franc. Vegan. Drink or hold.

BenMarco Gualtallary Expresivo 2020 is a bold and beautifully crafted red blend from Argentina's high-altitude Gualtallary region in the Uco Valley. With a focus on purity, minerality, and structure, this wine reflects the rugged, limestone-rich soils and cool climate of its origins.

Rich yet refined, the 2020 vintage offers intense fruit character, polished tannins, and a vibrant energy that promises exceptional aging potential as well as immediate pleasure.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips

Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
