Maula, Malbec Oak 2009, By Bodega Margot, USD 14
A very good malbec from Tupungato in Uco Valley. Young and concentrated with ripe black cherries and currants with a gentle chocolaty and vanilla edge ,all over sweet and juicy tannins. Mostly sensed at the early palate with slow decay afterwards which is probably a minus point fairly common in Uco´s. Not a complex malbec but quite modern and tuned to impress. I don´t feel it portrays tannins to improve more than close to this.
An 88 points malbec which represents both terroir and malbec. A good value too.
