Gran Dante, Malbec 2006, A nice Lujan de Cuyo Malbec but overpriced


Gran Dante, Malbec 2006, By Bodegas Dante Robino, USD 30

A malbec from Lujan de Cuyo Dpt, Central Mendoza.
A well balanced and nicely complex malbec. Pure violets aromas with nice vanilla and toast. Complex palate with wide middle portion of ripe black cherries and sweet plum. Some red berries too. It lacks some stronger and firmer tannins though. An 89 points malbec ready and walking its plateau. I wound´t pay this price twice: probably I get even by less than 20 bucks.
Not competitive though.
