Raza Argentina, Malbec 2010, a rather simple malbec from Famatina Valley


Raza Argentina, malbec 2010, By La Riojana, USD 10

A malbec from Famatina Valley, La Rioja Province. A premium malbec with basic structure but without attractiveness. You won´t feel a steal but the wine lacks fine tannins. A common malbec with burnt coffee and dry dark chocolate. Only some plum and red cherries in a balanced structure. An 86 point malbec that I wound´t cellar in any posible way. If 8 bucks it would be an Argentina´s value. Not bad but basic and rather simple.
