Quieto 2005, by Bodega Montequieto, great value




Quieto 2005, By Bodega Montequieto, Agrelo District in Lujan de Cuyo Departament, Mendoza, USD 10.
Beauty blend with 50% Cab Frank ,30% Malbec and 20% Cab Sauvignon. First hand fruit ripe and moderate in acidity like cherries, plum and boysenberry. Hint of quince marmalade. Hint of smoke at the end too. Quite pleasure through the palate ,mostly initial and middle. A red to see evolve in 6-8 years cellar even it´s `unprotected´given the short barrique cellar. I´d say a 89 points red with very great value component.
