Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - Argentinian Malbec does nothing for me. Blowsy, flabby, like warm pie filling, no structure. This, on the other hand, was interesting. Day one, it was like a cab franc from the Loire, more austere and acidic than a typical malbec. On day two, it was fruitier, not very commplex, and still a little acidic. Then, on day three, it came into balance. Dark fruits and plums came to the fore, but not the overripe stuff from SA. The acid still provided a backbone and the slightly leafy character of the cool weather fruit came through. Tasty stuff that might get me to explore more malbec, or cot as they call it in the Loire.
