Kaiken Ultra, Cabernet Sauvignon 2005, USD 23.
Great Cabernet from Lujan de Cuyo. Red & black rape fruits with nice acidity and some spiciness like mint or oregano and black pepper.Some oaky stuff probably over the top but nicely appended. In any case I´d say an 89-90 points with great value for the price. Must say the malbec Kaiken Ultra 2005 is much richer and fine wine.
Petit Caro 2006, Cab Sau and Malbec. USD 23.An excelent wine from Lujan de Cuyo. Very balanced and elegant. No awkward components
nither overexpressed stuff. The wine goes well above 90 points.
The only minus would be its softness but the palate is quite complete.
Pacual Toso,Reserve Oak aged, Malbec 2004, USD 23. The best of the bunch. Very fruity but also balanced and complex. Very drinkable and attractive.The grapes are from Tupungato (close to Uco Valley). A super great value for the price. Some mild spicy in it like mint and eucalyptus make it more interesting. I´d say 92 points
