Amalaya Gran Corte 2009, By Bodega Amalaya (Hess Family), USD 22
A Malbec based blend with some Cab Franc and Tannat from Calchaquies Valleys (Cafayate Valley one inner valley) Salta Province, Northwest Argentina.
A great red with beautiful nose of flowers like violets ,tasted cocoa and soft coffee. A delicate even concentrated wine with ripe black fruits mixed with dark chocolate. The alcohol gives balance.The aftertaste is enough to remember the middle palate. Well attractive and complex. A 92 points wine to enjoy its plateau probably after 4 years old given the well sturtured tannins. A very good value to
repeat several times.
