Espiritu de Argentina, Malbec 2008 (gran reserva), By Bodega Monte Real,USD 9



A Malbec from Rivadavia Departament, Mendoza.
I.P. Mendoza (Indicacion de Procedencia) means a legal certification of source (this case anywhere in Mendoza). A fair malbec with wide middle palate in red fruits like cherries well balanced in freshness and ripeness. Not complex neither delicate. Some vanilla and chocolate to enrich the medium boby tannins. A 85 points Malbec with a good value component at less than 10 bucks.


There is another wine named ´Espiritu de Argentina´ but from Tupungato (Uco valley) and sold at around 15 bucks. Not the one I´m tasting now.
