Numina 2005, spirit vineyard, From Uco´s Valley the best ever




Numina Spirit Vineyard 2005, By Salentien Wines, USD 38
Malbec 60 & Merlot 40 % from Uco´s Valley Mendoza and a wonderful structure and balance. An extremely attractive red mostly seductive like a merlot. Strong backbone dark and bitter with spicy red cherries and boysenberries mixing herbs nicely. Hypnotizing equlibrium ,more if resting an hour in the cup. Complex over all just to make it even better. Now young and bright but no doubt better in 5-7 years more (like 10-12 years old). A 95 points red and probably 97-98 properly aged. A supervalue above most wines. Don´t remember any Uco´s better

  1. The vintage 2007 is 85% malbec and 15% merlot. Not as strong and outrageous as the 05 vintage but very good anyway.Retailer of 35 USD for a 91-92 red malbec based.
