The wine manager at Goody Goody recommended I try out this single vineyard Malbec from Luigi Bosca, caveating that it requires some food. He sure was right!
The Luigi Bosca is what I would call a "brawny" wine that kicks you in the butt on the first sip. Upon opening the bottle, the nose displayed heavy green and spice elements. The palette matched, showing heavy spice and powerful plum undertones. By Malbec standards, the wine was rather complex on the palette and persisted for around 15 seconds. In addition to the plum, dark berries captured the remainder of the long finish. The mouthfeel was full and the tannins soft, resulting in a perfect wine to pair with lamb, beef, or other red meat.
$21, 90 point, 100.42 PDI.
