Susana Balbo Brioso, 2005
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008I have long been a fan of Susana Balbo’s Malbecs since I first discovered them on the rip-off wine list of the Gaucho Grill. So I was intrigued to see this blend, named Brioso, on the virtual shelves of the Wine Society. At £14.95 ($30) it is not cheap so it needs to be measured against serious competition.
As blends go, this one has a whopping 5 varietals contributing to the mix, but did this add as many facets to the flavour of the wine?
