Gestos, malbec & malbec 2008, By Bodega Flichman, USD 10
A blend of two malbecs from different terroir of Mendoza (Tupungato in Ucos Valley at 1,100 mts or 3,600 ft and Barrancas in Maipu Dpt at 700 mts or 2,300 ft). Nice malbec with basic attractiveness but lacking complexity to pair the price level. Lets see: you get red cherries and plum sweet and cooked.Only a bit of black cherries from Uco´s. You also get soft chocolate and a good balance in the early and middle palate. Nice tannins and short but enough aftertaste to enjoy. A 86 points malbec with good value component. To enjoy less than 4 years. It looks less attractive than the Cab Cab brother `put in the blender´play (`and make a great and complex wine´).
