(73% malbec, 19% cabernet and 8% merlot) Dark red-ruby. Superripe aromas of blackberry, licorice, mocha, chocolate truffle and sexy oak. Lush on entry, then less sweet in the middle than the Coleccion, showing a firmer tannic structure to support its black raspberry and bitter chocolate flavors. This more reticent, backward wine needs at least a couple years of patience to reveal its full personality. Rating: 91 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Feb 2013)

The 2007 Gran Vin is a blend of 73% Malbec, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 8% Merlot aged in French oak for 18 months. Saturated purple in color, it offers up an alluring bouquet of smoke, incense, Asian spices, and black cherry, with a hint of chocolate in the background. Full-bodied, layered, and opulent, the wine has superb depth of flavor, excellent integration of oak, tannin, and acidity, and a lengthy, fruit-filled finish. Give it 4-6 years more bottle age and drink it from 2014 to 2027. Rating: 92+ Jay Miller, www.RobertParker.com (Aug 2009)

Cuvelier los Andes

The Cuvelier family were selling wines to the good folk of Northern France in the early years on the nineteenth Century. In 1903, with the purchase of the St Estèphe estate of Château le Crock, they moved into château ownership, crowning their move in 1920 by buying Château Leoville Poyferré. In the 1990s the family spread their wings all the way to Mendoza, initially working with Michel Rolland on his Clos de la Siete project. But, in 1999, they started to plant their own vineyards - Cuvelier los Andes - and began producing wine in 2003. Michel Rolland dutifully oversees winemaking, and spare grapes are still sold off to Clos de la Siete.
