Antucura , Blend Selection 2005, a very nice blend from Vistaflores in Uco Valley

Antucura Blend Selection 2005, By Bodega Antucura (Caviar Blue SA), USD 19
A 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Malbec from Vistaflores district in Tunuyan Dpt (part of Uco Valley). Quite nice blend. Ripe sweet and sour black fruits typical of Vistaflores and Uco Valley at large well entangled with this blend. Not over expressed chocolaty and toasty note. Thin and sharp with  strong dark ripen fruits. Probably on its best now. An 89 points blend ending its plateau. A very attractive red.
