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.

Escorihuela Gascon Malbec 2008, good but not great central mendoza´s
Escorihuela Gascon Malbec 2008, By Bodega Escorihuela Gascon, USD 12-14
Nice malbec from central mendoza. Gentle and firm tannins offering sweet plum and dark cherries in a chocolaty envelope. Smooth and soft even it doesn´t go weak nor thin. Balanced. A 86 points malbec to get even by the price. You will keep it in a good shelf of your memory although it´s not a great value. It doesn´t show tannins to evolve better more than 4 years though.
