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.

Auka Finca Don Alfonso, Malbec 2008, A deep Malbec from La Consulta
Auka, Don Alfonso Malbec 2008, By Bodega y Viñedos San Polo, USD 20
A malbec from La Consulta District, San Carlos Dpt, Uco Valley, Mendoza and a single vineyard.
Mature and sweet black cherries and black currant quite attractive and typical from La Consulta. Round and delicious with vivid tones of chocolate, coffee and vanilla. Not very complex now ,needing some 2-4 years of cellar to make it. An 89 points malbec to enjoy the best after 4 years of ageing.
