Petite Fleur, Malbec bland from Uco´s and a family history behind





Petite Fleur ,Malbec blend 2008, By Monteviejo Bodega & Viñedos, USD 19.

Nice and round malbec blend from Uco´s Valley. Short at the end though ,what makes it not as good as you might imagine. Good acid black more than red small wild fruits typical of Uco´s. Hints of spices and smoke. Not wide in palate and actually short aftertaste wich is kind of deceptive. This is not what you expect of a Uco´s malbec of 2 years old for 20 bucks. I´d say 84 points and not a good price value after all.
