2006 Valle Perdido Reserva Malbec


I believe that this wine was just released in the last few months? Wine saw 14 months of oak via France and American. Pretty wealthy color with a nose of freshly sharpened number 2 pencils. Yup I said it! Black vine and tree fruit is laying around with some sweet tannins on the palate. Letting it breathe would do it some good as it was pretty full-bodied but was still great anyway. I think she was around 14% but can't be sure. Long finish. This was another $20 Malbec which is becoming the norm in these parts. Would buy a case or 2 and let it sit in the collection. Love it.
