Melipal Blend 2009, By Bodega Melipal, USD 19
www.bodegamelipal.com
A blend from Agrelo District, Lujan de Cuyo Departament, Cental Mendoza with 60% Malbec,
30% Petit Verdot and 10% Cabernet Franc.
Beautiful and complete blend keeping the fruity core ahead. You´ll find a fruit punch of ripe red and dark cherries, plum and a beautiful toach of herbaceous red and green bell peppers (at some point tastes like oregano and sage). Nice toasty coffee beans and choco too. Well structured and delicious. A 92 point red and a great value. Quite competitive worldwide for the standard palate (if such a thing does exist...). Probably the best by 3 to 5 years old as I like it. Fortunately I got a few bottles more to keep.
