The 2011 Amancaya Gran Reserva Malbec & Cabernet Sauvignon scored 17 points. It has 14.5% alcohol. It cost under $20 US dollars. At just six years old, the wine is a baby. It could age another decade or more. Black raspberry, cherry, oak, and chocolate aromas rise as it airs.
The wine is balanced with 50% Malbec and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon; they do work well together. It is an elegant dinner wine and softens from tannins after an hour of air while in the glass. Pour it early. Get a few bottles and age them.
In Vino Veritas.
