Los Cardos Malbec

Doña Paula 2010 Los Cardos Malbec

88 Points

My kind of Argentine malbec that puts the accent on the floral quality and red fruit flavours of the grape. This is the good mountain-grown stuff, not the over-oaked, cabernet sauvignon-esqe pretenders that are too often the product of Argentine winemakers. Clean and fresh, yet substantial. Excellent.
