2018 vintage from the new Malahi range of the historical Maran winery. This is a blend from 3 grapes, each from different zones. 50 % Areni Noir (this grape used to be called "Black Mahani" up to 1947, hence the name) from Vayots Dzor, 25% Khndoghni from Artsakh (aka Nagorno-Karabakh), and 25% fruit from young Malbec vines from the Ararat Valley. 6 months in used oak. Deep dark colour. Blackberry fruit and spices in nose and mouth. Nice balance and fine-grained tannic structure. A very good wine, but still I would love to see a high end 100% Areni from this estate, as I believe this wine is a bit too internationally styled to compete with European wines in the same price range (about 24 euros). — 5 years ago

Love Paul Hobbs! What a cool collaboration. This wine is rich & elegant, but just right with a simple pasta at home on a cold Thursday night. — 6 years ago

Good depth, approachable blackberry fruit with some added oak nuances. A bit shy on acidity and complexity but an appealling food wine. Soft tannins, elegant moderate finish. Easy to like — 7 years ago

Гранатовый сок, красная слива, красное яблоко, лечо, сумах, гвоздика, глина. Среднее тело с яркой кислотностью и аккуратными танинами. Выразительно и живо, без тяжести, с собственным характером. В хорошей форме сейчас. — 7 years ago

2019 vintage. A new wine from the historical Maran winery (I believe 2018 was the first vintage, but not sure). A blend of local grapes Voskehat and Areni Noir (vinified as a white for this original wine), and Aligoté from the Ararat Valley. Impressive in every respect. Mineral, aromatic, concentrated, profound, perfectly balanced and long. Powerful and elegant at the same time, reminds me of white Hermitage. Abv. 14%. — 5 years ago

My first Thai wine! It’s a lovely aperitif on a hot day. Dry and fruity strawberry and honey, but not overly sweet. — 7 years ago

2018 vintage. Historical producer tracing back to the beginning of the 19th century. 100% Areni Noir from the Vayots Dzor region from 40 years old vines at 1300 - 1400 m. Calcareous and volcanic soils. Aged 6 months in used Armenian oak barrels. A very good introduction to the wonderful Areni Noir grape. Brilliant transparent ruby. Attractive nose with pomegranate, red cherries, flowers and a hint of vanilla. Elegant taste with bright red fruit, fresh acidity and a nice ripe tannic bite. Amazing value at about 13 euro. Abv. 14%, but hardly noticed. — 5 years ago

My friend Justyna brought this Armenian red back from her recent trip to Poland. I've never had wine from Armenia but it's pretty damn nice. Blind taste me, I'd say small artisan producer in Languedoc. — 11 years ago
