£4 off when you buy 2 bottles Not really my cup of tea Quite sweet with violet notes that I typically associate with Malbec 12 months in oak isnt overly evident. Lacks complexity I couldn't really determine what makes this this a Gran Reserva as no noticable difference from the reserva wine Save the money and get the reserva if you must |

I drunk a bottle of the Reserva a couple of weeks ago. It was a bit ferocious on the tannin front, but otherwise I thought it was pretty decent. Have you tried the Bin 28 yet? |

I must 'ave another look at these Peruvian "goats head soup" GR Mals again, I'm out-a-touch with current trends I should know this. I couldn't really determine * what makes this this a Gran Reserva as no noticable difference from the reserva wine Save the money and get the reserva if you must * It u'll be denser. Shez, you're getting picky ! Three quarters of this nation's wino fraturnity, will part with thirteen knicker, just cos they can paint the bleeding fence in one coat with it - Duh. Sorry Shez - Off topic On the P Bin 28 - Paul, you said it was bloody nice but decades before the ready window ! - So, with aged clarets and declining *Chablis and other fragile stuff that is peaking in the rack, it seems a bid mad to break one open just now. We trust ya opinion for sure, Paul...... So I'm keeping the black box intact. *If you scored the '08 Gilles de la Tour chab 1er vaillons from Tesco last year for a tenner delivered, clear before the end of the Summer. |

I've had a bottle of the bin 28 and given 2 away as gifts Made a basic note after tasting: Nice. Deep, rich and fruity. Needs leaving a while to develop will try and see if I can hold off revisiting before 2014 |
