Umbral (de los tiempos) Malbec 2008, Bodega Cruz de Piedra (Familia Alonso), USD 9
A malbec from Cruz de Piedra district in Maipu Departament ,Central Mendoza.
An impressive malbec with round ripe plum and cherries, mostly red ones like slowly cooked in sugar. Nice chocolaty and smoky note that makes it more complex. Beautiful palate well balanced. An 89 points malbec absolutelly equilibrated and beautifull. A great value under 10 bucks, probably the best I tasted lately at this price level.
may be Domiciano de Barrancas Malbec 2009 is better,this time from a neightbor disctric Barrancas in Maipu Departament. See a couple of days ahead for your self please.
