Don Nicanor, malbec 2009, By Nieto Senetiner, USD 15
A malbec from Agrelo district of Lujan de Cuyo Departament, Mendoza.Striking purple shade.Aroma of violets and plum fresh and young. The palate is balanced with sweet tannins and filling well the initial part.Soft chocolate too. It fades away soon after a short middle palate.
The wine is nervous and fast expressive all at once. If this initial palate disappear with maturity the wine will turn flat and evanescent. So to enjoy young (kind of before 4 years) in a fast drink situation and I don´t know if worth it 15 bucks. I mean for 15 bucks you may find pretty complex malbecs around.
A 84 points malbec out of price level for 15. I remember previous vintages with similar struture and far more oaky which didn´t mean more attractive.
