Viña Amalia Malbec 2009, From San Carlos a beauty balanced Uco´s


Viña Amalia, Malbec 2009, By Finca Amalia, USD 15

Great Malbec from San Carlos Vineyards in Uco Valley. Dark blue with shining brights of deep red alluring from the beginning. Sugary ripe blueberries and boysenberries. Amazing black plumms made marmalade. Just fine chocolaty note to round it up a little bit. Wide middle palate. Not concentrated though (to be an ultrapremium malbec!). It reaches a 90 points malbec not overexpressed and fair to its terroir. Four to six years may bring even more beauty.


A great value built as an intrinsec quality driven malbec (as opposed to oak driven or oak complemented)
