Santa Julia Malbec

[Innkeeper]

1999 Santa Julia, Malbec Reserva, Mendoza ($11 Is-Wine). Would have sworn I posted the first bottle of two, but must have forgot to hit the submit button. At any rate it is another delightful gift from Argentina. It presents itself with a deep lusty red color. Floral, plum, and smokey aromas on the nose and upfront tastes. Spicy, meaty complexity and silky smooth tannin race across the plate. Wonderful aftertaste. Matched with the second strogy in a row. Mmmmmmm good.
