A Malbec from Lujan de Cuyo Departament, Central Mendoza
Quite unusual malbec with dark tones of black fruits mixed with a spice and mint shade that we are definitely not used to in most malbecs. Oregano, mint and black peppercorn in right keep with sweet fruit is just an intriguing and pleasurable experience here. I would go close to 89 points only because I´m not used to it and feel it kind of strange. I understand its a great value. Probably best by 4-6 years given the tannins and basic structure.
