Tukma Malbec Reserva 2009, a basic beauty from Cafayate´s Valley


Tukma, Malbec Reserva 2009, By Bodega Tukma, USD 15
A malbec from the very high Cafayate Valley in Salta Province Northwest Argentina.
Not delicious but portraying basic attraciveness from both Cafayate terroir and Malbec wine. Dark unpolished red not attractive to the eye. Nice fruity nose showing compoted plum and quince marmalade. Expressive chocolate and vanilla from the start off. Good palate and solid tannins but not complex neither delicious. Overall an 86 points malbec,nice and well engaged with balance and basic beauty. Good value. I dont´t feel it a lasting beauty for more than 4 years without loss nor even adicional improving.
