Furque 3 Cepas 2007, By Bodega Aconquija, USD 12 (18 UK)
A malbec blend with some good amounts of syrah and tempranillo from La Consulta district ,San Carlos Departament in Uco Valley, Mendoza. Very attractive blend with dark fruits mostly boysenberries and black currant and cherries. Good alcohol and acidity. A litle herbaceous note I don´t like much. No oxidation and quite appropiate soft chocolaty note. Long and sweet all through the palate although not `wide´ like central mendoza (Lujan de Cuyo & Maipu), south mendoza (San Rafael, General Alvear) and northpatagonia (San Patricio, Rio Negro) offer more strinkingly. An 89 points blend to enjoy with people of any taste and language. To drink young before 6 years old so the tannins don´t lose ground. Very good value.
