Saurus, Malbec 2008, By Familia Shroeder, USD 9
Attractive Malbec from San Patricio Valley, Neuquen, Northpatagonia.
Sour red cherries and plum with quite evolving chocolate and hot alcohol. Not very complex rather than straight and potent. All virtues of a typical Northpatagonian Malbec. Not the delicate structure and softness of mendoza. The natural potency is what I feel the winery should keep expressed in a terroir wine (lets say any wine!). It looks like you may enjoy this malbec for
4-6 years with some increasing maturity and so forth more terciary notes. I´d say a 85 points malbec with very good value for the price. Good Patagonian.
