Sur de los Andes, Malbec Gran Reserva 2006, just a good value





Sur de los Andes, Gran Reserva, Malbec 2006, USD 20
Nice malbec from Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza. Better nose than palate. Soft fruits mostly black ones
with pleasant alcohol and acidity. A little bit hollow and empty in the middle palate (wich is the strongest point in malbec argentino). Nice cheap (second & third use) oak at the end (choco and smoke) gives roundness. Lack complexity and finesse.I´d say 88 point red with barely a good value component.
