Coleccion Universo Patagonia 2004, the big brother of Malma series, wow !





Colección, Universo Patagonia 2004, By Bodega Nqn, USD 20
Wonderfull evolution of this 7 y/o blend 60% malbec ,30% merlot and bit of Cab Sau.
Concentrated and dark fruity core with nice undertones of chocolate and spice (mostly like allspice) softly there and keeping in the beauty of balance. Nice oxidation giving more cooked notes of sweet fruits like plum and figs in syrup preserve. Strong alcohol but not disturbing. The blend´s still structured and solid keeping the original line of boysenberries now more cooked and black jammy. A 91 points blend at this point in time for this vintage. Not as structured as the 05 vintage but great value undoubtedly. I imagine at 10 or more y/o this wine getting a kind of sour jamm of plum and boysenberries worthwile pouring cup after cup.
