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.

Palo Alto, Malbec 2006, not many tasters will pay 24 bucks twice
Palo Alto, malbec 2006, By Bodega Palo Alto, USD 24
A malbec from Tupungato ,Uco Valley. Overexpressive oaky malbec with sweet core of ripe black berries
Nice plummy edge but overly oaked with vanilla and toast. Not a bad malbec even most of its essence is covered and diluted in borrowed savory notes from oak. A 84 pointsmalbec not worth the price.
Some tasters may like but not at this price level.
