Portal Andino Malbec Reserva 2007, a great value from General Alvear at premium level


Portal Andino, Malbec Reserva , By Frutal Genetica SA, USD 10

Strong fruit driven albec from South Mendoza at General Alvear Departament.
Wide middle palate fills up the mouth with black cherries and boysenberries ripe and sweet. Good alcohol and enough acidity. Balanced dark chocolate and good tannins with velevety bitterness. Not very complex but quite enough for a premium value. A 89 points Malbec established as a good value. Enjoyable easily and probably nicer the first 6 years of life. So we should remember General Alvear terroir to enjoy dark & sweet fruity malbec at the premium level.
