Algodon Malbec 2009, By Algodon Wine Estate, USD 18
Another vintage of this outstanding malbec from San Rafael Valley, south Mendoza.
Wide and brilliant fron the first ´touch´ of the nose with the mist outflowing the cup. Elegant violets and red cherries with sweet sensation of the oak give way to a wide palate with balanced fruits and oak (mostly chocolate and toast). Some nice notes of figs ripe and sweet and a very light quince membrillo not overcooked. A 91 point malbec now that has 1 to 3 years to get much better. Great value.
