Lindaflor 2002 By Monteviejo; keeps growing quite fine




Lindaflor 2002, Malbec by Bodega Monteviejo, Uco Valley ,USD 40.

Great maturation these 8 years for this typical malbec from Uco´s. Strong black sour fruits pop up from the beginning. Mouthfull chocolate and toast well entangled. Solid and attractive tannins with marvelous backbone. Very seductive. From the middle and growing through late palate and aftertaste I pick up a quite attractive tutti frutti (candied) component hallmark of Rolland´s wines of Uco Valley that seems to come from oak and cellar. I guess it could get better with some terciary notes in the upcomming years and bring more complexity. I´d say a 93 points malbec, may be 95-97 if aged some 3-4 years more. Great Value.
