WTN: Luigi Bosca Reserva Syrah 2006

Maipú, Mendoza

Decanted about 45 minutes.

Purple in the glass.

Smoky, chocolate, spicy, floral on the nose.

Smoky, quite tangy, earthy, black cherry, raspberries, cranberry, medium weight, tarry, floral, black and red licorice, spicy, drying.

Tangy and drying on the finish.

An okay wine, but nothing special.

Purchased at $14.95 (Canadian).

gotta go Malbec with Luigi...I lived in Argentina from 97-00...and Don Luigi and steaks were a mainstay

I've enjoyed the Bosca malbecs, also. Still...this Syrah sounds pretty nice for $14.99. Certainly better than a "Central Coast Appellation" blueberry juice alcohol delivery device.

This wine is featured on a few restaurant lists around these parts, one can see why eh.
