Miguel Escorihuela Gascón, Blend 2002, By Bodega E Gascon,USD 50.
(Internationally sold as Presidential Blend) This Malbec based blend (85% malbec, 10% cab sau and 5% merlot with minor amounts of syrah) from Mendoza is a quite complex and attractive red. Well balanced, more red than black fuits, with some chocolate and smoke and clear long aftertaste. A bit of not nice acidity even the cork was o.k. You may get some sweet bell pepper but not dominant. Could it get better with some couple of years of cellaring? I´d say 90 points red and just a barely acceptable value to price.
