Killka, Malbec 2009, By Salentein Wines, USD 9
A nice although barely stuctured above basic level Malbec from Tunuyan (Uco Valley), Mendoza. All the basics of a Salentein´s there but less concentrated and vanishing. Basic soft chocolate from oak and a sniffy pinch of vanilla almost imaginary. Good fruit ripe and acid with short palate after the middle taste. The wine feels immature yet, so it might get more balanced in a few years, but for now I don´t see better than 85 points red. I liked more the Salentein´s Los Leones series at the same price stand although concievably this might be a vintage or maturation bias. All in all a good value.
