Andeluna Res. Lim.,Malbec 04, Cuvelier Los Andes Gran Vin 06, M Escorihuela Gascon 05a




Andeluna Reserva Limitada Malbec 2004, USD 63
Impressive malbec from Uco Valley Mendoza. Great and clear acids and rape fruits pop out nicely. A deep wine from the nose down. Every sip spreads out complexity. It goes all the way the palate touches and lingers a good aftertaste.I woudn´t say less than 93 points.The wine is mature and I wonder how better it may get with some nice aging a couple of years away. Very easy to buy for the price.

Cuvelier Los Andes, Gran Vin 2003, USD 36
Very concentrated blend from Uco Valley, clear Rolland´s style. Rich in fresh red and black fruits like plum,cherry and wild blackberries. Some smoke around but not oaky. Strong early and middle palate. I guess It´l go better in a few years ahead. For now 92 points.A great value at +30 bucks wines.

Miguel Escorihuela Gascon, blend 2005 (malbec mostly,but some cab & syrah) USD 47 (int´l soldas Presidential´s Blend). Complete wine with spicy notes tailing the tipical malbec´s plum and red berries. Some oak stuff softly mixed. Long finish and attractive early and middle palate. I´d say 90 points wine.Accordingly priced.
