Don Juan Nahuel, Reserva, Malbec 2005; Nice malbec and nice oak



Don Juan Nahuel, Reserva, Malbec 2005, USD 38
Wonder from Lunlunta distric (Maipu) and Agrelo distric (Luja de Cuyo) Mendoza. The first release of Gustavo Santaolalla (musician Oscar winning) and friends. Wine to enjoy a good fruit´s palette with nice oak. Rich mixture of oak and fruit fresh and ripe. Vanilla and coconut envolve all the red cherries ,black currant and plum in it. Balanced and attractive result. Good middle passage through palate. Not very long lasting though and that´s the only fault. I´ll go 90 points. Good value that I wound´t cellar better more than 4 -6 yrs.
