Enclave Sur, Malbec 2010, falling short for a good Northpatagonian


Enclave Sur, Malbec 2010, By Grupo Trafen, USD 8

A malbec from Choele Choel Isle (Valle Medio, Rio Negro) Northpatagonia. Great concentrated red bluish with promising aromas of black cherries black cassis and dark ripe plums. However the palate falls short.Only a straight initial palate follew by a vanishing ending. An 83 points malbec far from the local value in terms of strong backbone and wide deep tannins. Barely acceptable value. I wound´t cellar this malbec. 2009 vintage was far better.
