Luigi Bosca, Malbec DOC, 2003 & 2007, USD 25
The two are Lujan de Cuyo D.O.C. (Denominación Origen Controlada) from Vistalba
district. High lands with great CS & Malbecs. Lets say Lujan de Cuyo, Maipú and Uco Valley are the three best places for superb wines in Mendoza.
Malbec DOC 2007 showed a great balance with violet flower, acid little berries and quince jam. Some spicy component is entangled. Little oak vanilla and smoke envolve.The palate is short and frustrating. Sweet tannin and soft but extremely evanescent.Lets place it in 88 pts , 93 or more if body pushed longer.
The 2003 bottle showed some oxidation in it (the cork was dry but without filtration) and a little evolution toward complex maturity but it doen´t go better than the 07.I´d say 84 pts
