Paisaje de Tupungato 2008 , By Finca Flichman, USD 25
A blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from Tupungato Valley in Uco Valley.
Rich and quite complete red. Nice aromas of ripe fruits and soft vanilla. The palate displays a richer wine with a wide palette of red and black berries, boysenberries and plum. Good alcohol and acidity to the end. Better middle palate and aftertaste. One of those wines to enjoy better from the middle palate on. A 92 points red quite mature now and no doubt better in 2-4 years from now. A very good value, competitive and appropiate (*).
This `Paisaje de Tupungato´ 2008 and `Enamore´ 2009 were tasted blindly with `Fetish´ 2008 a shiraz from Barossa and within a close range of price. I scored `Fetish´ 91 points (as well as my partners).
(*) There is another wine in this series called ´Paisaje de Barrancas´ named after the district of Maipu Departament. To better appreciate the contrasting beauty of those terroires you should definitedly try both. Enjoy!
