    Yeah, Chilean Malbecs are my favourite wines, except for some Malbecs from a very particular part of Basque country where they don’t have the slightly muddy flavour you often get from French Malbecs (which is why they’re generally blended into a Bordeaux, but here in Aus we tend not to blend outside of a GSM.)

    • I count myself lucky because I live in a place that has a lot of autochtonous variety diversity, so I rarely drink any French grapes. That being said I’ve always been a fan of right bank Bordeaux, and those have malbec in healthy amounts, so I’m no stranger to it. Most of my experience with unblended Malbec comes from Argentinian ones though, and those can be hit-or-miss.
