Leo, Premium Mabec 2010, By Bodega Bianchi & Leo Mezzi Foundation, USD 12-14
A single vineyard malbec (Doña Elsa, San Rafael Valley), South Mendoza.
Dark and concentrated with strong fruits ,mostly ripe blackberries and black california plums and
a strong chocolaty and coffee driven oak. The kind of malbec that strikes hard on the palate with all the pieces x 2 the usual strength. A 90 point malbec conceived to impress and call for a second bottle soon. The wine gets my taste buds close to saturation. In any case a very attractive malbec and a great value at the premium level. It should gain complexity 3-5 y/o from vintage but given the concentrated structure it looks better to enjoy before 2-3 y/o.
