Malma Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2005, wow





Malma Reserve, Cabernet Sauvignon 2005, By Bodega Nqn, USD 12.

Beautiful Cab from Northpatagonia (San Patricio´s Valley, Neuquén). Quite interesting dark red bluish (not violet)from the begining. Impressive nose that opens up a great palate. Blackcurrant, boysenberries, cherries mostly black and cooked like marmalade. Beautiful bell pepper kind of candied by direct fire. Nice and solid only some gap in the middle palate (where a Malbec should complete pretty well). Nice balance of acidity and alcohol. I´d say 90 points red with very good value for the money paid. May even improve next 2-3 years.
