Achaval Ferrer Doesn't Dissapoint The Brits

Jane MacQuitty, wine correspondent for The Times of London (Times Online UK) goes where not even James Molesworth would:
2007 Malbec Achaval Ferrer, Mendoza, Argentina Corney & Barrow (020-7265 2400), £12.49 Cellaring a New World wine may sound daft but Argentina’s full-throttle malbec, the country’s finest red grape, is an obvious contender. Put away this distinguished and already seductive, spicy, mulberry-stashed malbec, from one of the finest Argentine producers, for five years...
Cellaring a Mendoza malbec for more than 2 years? Yes, that's what she is saying. Achaval-Ferrer is making the best and more complex wines in Argentina right now. Very serious stuff.
