Lagarde Malbec 2009, a elegant even basic premium Malbec from LDC


Lagarde, Malbec 2009, By Lagarde S.A., USD 15

Nice and swimmingly structured Malbec albeit keeking it simple. All the basic virtues of a Lujan de Cuyo Malbec (LDC) with fruity and gentle backbone of plum and red cherries. Wide middle palate ,round and somehow elegant. Good (just good) concentration of a premium malbec. To enjoy better after 4-6 years of cellar. Soft chocolate and toast. Not very powerfull neither impressive malbec even though balanced. It´s not a very complex malbec like those above premium. A 87 points Malbec with good value component.
