Black Tears, malbec 2006, wonderful even for frantic anti-oak guys





Black Tears, Malbec 2006, USD 38
Wonderful Malbec from Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza. Beautiful blend of flowers,fruits and oak in a strong backbone of sweet tannins.
The oak (mostly vanilla and coconut with choco too) doesn´t blind the fruit but it goes enchained one with another. It covers well the palate from the beginning. A little bit overexpressed or concentrated but equally gorgeous. I´d say a 92 points and a very good value. You must be a frantic anti-oak to not enyoy this red. I dont´remember any reasonable one.
