Chakana, Malbec Reserve 2008, By Andean Wines, USD 12
Good Malbec labled from Agrelo District, Lujan de Cuyo, mendoza. Very ripe black berries and currants with less noticeable red fruits. A little bit alcoholic so probably better a bit cooler. Nice acidity and hints of spicies like green peppercorn and a minty edge. Good chocolate and smoke from oak. Quite complex. Probably better at 6-8 years old if tannins hold up (wich I honestly doubt). I´d say a very good value with 90 points malbec. It might go great value if more matured.
