Calvulcura 2003 and Finca La Anita Malbec 2002, Good and better




Calvulcura, merlot & malbec 2003, USD 18
Nice blend from high Uco´s Valley ,Mendoza.
Probably close to plateau ending. Nice pallete at the nose with red rose perfume and red berries.
It covers the palate more at the early and middle parts. Short aftertaste. Nice young oaky stuff like vanilla and sweet cinnamon. May notice some plum jam too. I´l go 87 points with an acceptable value.

Finca La Anita, Malbec 2002, USD 30
Wonderful Malbec from Agrelo District of Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza.
Beautiful fruit broad in the mouth with cherry like and raspberry too. Less plum and mince jam.
Just soft smoke and choco envelope barely perceived. Long lasting enyoyable. I´woudn´t go less than 91 points for this very good value.
