(Tasted on July 2010)
Calvulcura, merlot & malbec 2003, USD 18
Nice blend from high Uco´s Valley ,Mendoza.
Probably close to plateau ending. Nice palette at the nose with red rose perfume and red berries. It covers the palate at the early and middle parts. Short aftertaste though. Nice young oaky stuff like vanilla and sweet cinnamon. May notice some plum jam too. I´l go 89 points with a very good 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 quince jam. Just soft smoke and choco envelope barely percived. Long lasting enyoyable. A delicate yet terroir driven malbec. I´woudn´t go less than 91 points for this very good value.
