Km 1120, Malbec 2011, By Angel Moschini e hijos. USD 10
A malbec from Ingeniero Huergo (Rio Negro Valley), Rio Negro Province, Northpatagonia.
Nice and complete malbec at a premuim level that testifies what a ´Estepa Patagonica´ malbec may bring on.
Red opaque color with no shade of violetes but a sad bright that won´t astonish the eye. Much better nose that displays completely itself after a couple of sips. Round and sour red cherries and boysenberries slightly cooked and keeping fresh anyway. No more than a touch of chocolate and toast. Strong alcohol and big backbone altogether.
An 87 points malbec and a standard for this Rio Negro Valley at a premium level. It might lose fruit after 4 years. Great value at 10 bucks ( and at 15 too!).
