Marcus Gran Reserva ,Patagonia Malbec 2006, USD 25
Malbec from north patagonia (Rio Negro,were I live in) showing good typicity for both variety and terroir at a very good value. Fruit and balance but a little oaky for me. I get cherries and raspberries plum jam with violet flower and quice jam all typical of malbec. From patagonia I get stronger color and tannins than mendoza with hints of eucalyptus but overall strong fruit like plum and quince jammy memories. I´d say 90 points wine, even more if it were less oaky for my palate. I love patagonia terroir.
Clos de los Siete, Malbec 2007, Uco Valley, USD 20
Very fruit driven malbec, concentrated and attrative with hints of toast and tabacco. Typical Uco´s malbec with a particular style showed mostly on a higher acidity. Strong wine at the bottom line.This bottle showed some oxidation even the cork was fine. I´d say 89 points. Great value though.
