Melipal Malbec 2008, a premium prime time malbec


Melipal Malbec 2008, By Bodega Melipal, USD 13
A nice Malbec from High Agrelo District in Lujan de Cuyo, Central Mendoza. bodegamelipal.com

It shows a beautiful and balanced mix of red and black cherries (lets say ,more black and less red than lower Central Mendoza but less black than Uco Valley) nestled by simple oak like milk chocolate with minimal vanilla. Quite attractive and easy Malbec. A 90 point red to enjoy between 4 and 6 years at the most. Good value.
