I agree... Malbec comes in different styles, and Patagonian Malbec is very different to Mendoza Malbec, and also quite different from Salta Malbec. As a general rule (the devil is in the details), structure and power go in increase as you move north.... this means that caeteris paribus, a Malbec from Mendoza will be more powerful than a Malbec from Patagonia, and a Malbec from Salta will be more powerful than a similar exponent from Mendoza.
