Primus Malbec 2003, one of the top 10





Primus, malbec 2003, By Salentein Wines, USD 52
Astonishing Malbec from Uco Valley (Tunuyan),Mendoza. A high altitude vineyard (1,100 mts or 3,600 ft) gives this exceptional vintage. A Malbec ripe and showing all the virtues a high quality Malbec may give. Ripe cherries and jam of black plum. Almost perfect equlibrium of chocolate,tabacco with vanilla and all the fruit. It may get even better the next few years. I prefer this point in time, where fruit and maturity balance each other. I don´t enjoy more a terciary dominant wine. This is a 95 points malbec with unbeatable value for the price. A close to perfect Tunuyan Malbec and one of the best Argentina´s.
