Clos de Chacras, malbec 2008, just a good value in a good malbec first


Clos de Chacras, malbec 2008, By Clos de Chacras (Chacras de Coria, close by Mendoza City), USD 14

A single vineyard in Lunlunta district of Maipu Dpt Central Mendoza.
Beauty malbec with dense dark cherries and plum. Spiciness at the middle palate quite nice. Good dark chocolate and solid tannins backing up the fruity chacarter. Good acidity and alcohol too. A malbec with fine and complex structure to evolve well 4-6 years for better. An 89 point malbec and a good value for the price no doubt. (Even though the Cab Sau recently tasted was an edge nicer to my palate).
