Loan Malbec 2007, being an Agrelo Malbec just basic





Loan, Malbec 2007, By Belasco de Boquedano, USD 13
Nice but basic malbec from Agrelo district of Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza. It has the main values from an Agrelo: balanced fruit (red cherries, plum, boysenberries) ripe and sweet with a quite typical equlibrium of acidity and alcohol. Some light character though wich put this malbec in the 8-10 range price. So typicity awarded but a little far pushed the price. I´d say a 87 points Agrelo Malbec a little bit too expensive. Lets say it would be a good value for 10 bucks and a very good value for 8 bucks.
