Riglos
Quinto Malbec
Tupungato, Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
May be the age on the bottle talking, but this Malbec is singing! Medium purple on the eye with heavy blackberry and plum on the nose. On the pallet the full body is immediately apparent, some ripe dark fruit also present, chocolate and oak as well. The tannings are strong, nice balance to the wine and there is a pleasant finish. Bought this about five years ago and it is certainly a pleasant surprise. Again, lesson learned: never underestimate aging value wines, this is great.

Jul 2nd, 2016Impressively made. Plummy fruit, but not rich and over-extracted. For $20 retail, very respectable
