Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Bodega Diamandes' 2010 Diamandes de Uco Malbec contains small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Petit Verdot in its blend. It offers up a pleasing perfume of spice box, underbrush, violets, and black cherry. This sets the stage for a savory, ripe, well-balanced Malbec that is a good value meant for drinking over the next 4-5 years.
Most distinguished and celebrated from Argentina’s Mendoza, Malbec has seen runaway success since the early 2000s. Mendoza’s agreeable, continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold snowy winters allows the perfect conditions for growing outstanding Malbec. This grape is easy to like for its lusty, deep flavors and aromas of blackberry, plum, red cherry, autumn spice and tilled earth. It’s easy to find delicious, fruit-driven, affordable everyday examples and in prices beyond, quite exceptional ones with dense, supple textures that make them capable of aging.
