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.

Marchiori & Barraud Malbec 2008, another outstanding Malbec at 15 bucks level
Marchiori & Barraud Malbec 2008, Perdriel, USD 15
A signature Malbec from the partners of Paul Hobbs in Cobos Winery in Perdrial district of Lujan de Cuyo Dpt, Central Mendoza
An impressive malbec by quality and equilibrium. Much better than the Cab Sav counterpart in terms of beauty. Delicate and straight fruity core with jammy red and black cherries with sweet plum and quince. An 92 points malbec and a great mendoza´s value from one of the best district for balanced malbecs. Better before 6 years old.
