Crios ,Syrah & Bonarda 2007, By Susana Balbo, USD 10.
Nice blend 50/50 from Lujan de Cuyo Dpt, Mendoza. Strong backbone of red sour fruits much like plum and boysenberries.Quite interesting slap of spiciness and herbal like green pepper grain that makes it exotic. Big early and middle palate with nice aftertaste of bitterness. All in all is a well estructured red and actually quite complex. Very good value no doubt. Not a wine easy to drink but interesting to discover.I´d say a 89 points red to drink before 4-6 years. Lacks finesse and attractiveness. Its a monster attack with rustic and viking tannins (got it?). This time much better than Malbec Crios which is even more rustic and rough.
Another attraction in Argentina is the people that lives there and their cultures, here's a place where you could stay when you plan on visiting there.
