Don David & Saint Felicien Malbec 2007, two terroires two styles







Saint Felicien, Malbec 2007, USD 15
A Malbec from Lunlunta district of Maipu, Mendoza. Nice and elegant with tipicity and attractiveness. Laking some streght seen in Catena Alta series (I guess these series is close to Catena worldwide). Sweet and gentle fruit well balanced.Little bit of smoke and choco. I´d say 88 points and worth paying the price.


Don David, Malbec 2007, Cafayate Valley, USD 9
Younger in fruit attacking the palate more aggresively. All within malbec tipicity. More characteristic of Cafayate terroir with stronger blackcherries and plum and more concentration. Hint of choco and smoke. I´d say 87 points laking some complexity. Looks like a great value though.
