Melipal, Malbec Reserve 2004, By Melipal (Vino del Sol), USD 22
Very good malbec from Agrelo District in Lujan de Cuyo Departament. Soft and gentle with delicate fruits and chocolate with a touch of spice (mostly like cinnamon and allspice). Short but quite balanced. Not bombastic or overexpressed. This short end of palate and aftertaste will go surely better if pushed forward by food containing acid, salty and umami components. A 91 points malbec and a great value component. It doesn´t look like it would go better after 6-8 years given the delicate and fine structure.
