Calypso, Malbec 2009, an unbeatable value





Calypso, malbec 2009, By Monteviejo, USD 10
Great value malbec with all the virtue of Vistaflores, Tunuyan (Uco valley), Mendoza.
Close to perfect balance of fresh fruits with nice acidity and alcohol.Plum, blackberries, boysenberries altogether ripe and fresh. Quite attractive dark chocolate and vanilla. An inviting wine to enjoy 4-6 years plenty of yought. I wound´t go less than 93 points with this malbec. An unbeatable value for the price.


Re-tasted by the end of November 2011 with consistent values. Let air for half an hour to open up the virtues. Like few times in Argentina´s wines this one leaps 2-3 points ahead after a while open.
