2008 Bodega Poesia Poesia

If you think of Mendoza’s Malbec-based wines as rich and ripe but a bit chunky and best for early drinking, try the supremely elegant 2008 vintage of Poesia, a 60/40 blend of Malbec and Cabernet Franc from ungrafted vines planted in 1935. The wine is as fresh today as it was when I tasted it on release several years ago and still has a decade of positive development ahead of it.
