Masi Tupungato 2009

Film 'Mighty Aphrodite' by Woody Allen

Masi Tupungato Passo Doble 2009 Malbec
Vigneti La Arboleda Tupungato, Argentina

ADM alone.

Nose & Bouquet
Smokey, Vanilla

Taste & Structure
Tart, tannins, leggy, dark cherry & blackberry

Finish
Short, tight, sharp

Great alone. Any Woody is. The film makes the wine seem better than it is...this was a recommendation from the LCBO when the Malbec I wanted couldn't be found. At $4 more than I was looking to spend on a Malbec from Argentina this was v. disappointing.

Could have used a rich dish to make the cut worth the bite.

2.5 out of 5. I'm afraid expectations were high and the film is so fantastic (5 out of 5 for the film).
