Cicchitti Blend 2006, a great and classical blend from Mendoza

Cicchitti Colección, Blend 2006, By Bodega J.A. Cicchitti S.A., USD 17
A classical Argentina´s blend with all the beauty . Malbec 60%, Cabernet Sauvignon 30% and Merlot 10% from Uco Valley and Lujan de Cuyo Departament. A deep and vivid blue with dark red included. Very expressive nose of flowers and fruits mostly black ones. Not overconcetrated even the palate gets the best with great balance and focus. Only nice dark chocolate and some mild smoke. Precise toaches of bayleaf, crushed green peppercorns. A great malbec based red that seems walking its plateau. The tannins are so sharp and elegant that I imagine a great terciary move next 2-4 years. I´d say a 92 point red. A great value, very competitive and solid.
