Valentin Chiappa Malbec 2007 from Rivadavia Dpt. Mendoza





Valentina Chiappa Malbec 2007. By Mondovino Argentina S.A., Rivadavia, Mendoza. USD 10

Simple but honest Malbec with soft color and palate. Nice notes of minty herbal quite alluring in the middle of soft red cherries with an edge of toast. Not complex neither concentrated Malbec although it gives the main layers of a Mendoza´s Malbec. I wound go even for no more than 7-8 bucks with this malbec. So I feel it a little bit overpriced for the lack of concentration and complexity. A 84 points Malbec overpriced. Not ready for any time after 4 years.
