Tasting notes of a local wine lover without elegant literacy or web design. Just plain wine talk. By the same token I analyze the opened bottle with my senses, just at the very end I re-check the producer (I first checked it when bought it for sure!),vintage,terroir,and price. These data allow me to reconstruct the wine and trace a botton line.

Algodon, Malbec 2008, impressive Malbec from San Rafael ,South Mendoza
Algodon, Malbec 2008, By Algodon Wine Estate, USD 17
Very attractive malbec from Sierra Pintada, San Rafael district, south mendoza.
Round and attractive red ripe fruits with wide palate and adoring tannins. Delicate chocolate and vanilla with a fresh aftertaste. A malbec to enjoy in every detail. Not very complex though. A 91 points malbec and a great value for the price. To enjoy plenty of youth during the first 4-6 years, and mostly terciary after then but I doubt if better.
