Bodega Alandes Paradoux Red Blend 6th Edition 750 ML

Sourced from the three most prestigious growing areas in the Uco Valley – La Consulta, Los Chacayes and Gualtallary – Karim Mussi blends 4 vintages (2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018) to perfection in this simply breathtaking classic Bordeaux blend. 20% each of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot are aged 18 months in French oak. Pure class and grace with terrific, silky balance from start to finish in a wine that Karim calls, “Blue blazer, white shirt and moccasins”.
This is some killer stuff here from a guy we’ve been fond of for a while now. His other projects, like the Phoenician Malbec, have consistently overdelivered in quality and price ratio and this is no exception. A rollicking good time with this multi-vintage blend that seems to press all the right button. It’s big, ripe and crowd-pleasing with a style that makes you think of Pomerol, without the eye-watering price tag.
