Salentien Reserve Malbec 2010, keeping the correct place of quality but more short lived than before

Salentein Reserve Malbec 2010, By Salentein Wines, USD 14
A malbec from los arboles in Tunuyan Departament part of Uco Valley, Mendoza
A young malbec and ready to drink now. Ripe blackberries and boysenberries more friendly than previous vintages (and chief winemaker too). Fruit driven with soft oaky notes.This time probaby won´t get better after 4 years (as oppose to previous when 4-6 years was desirable). An 88 points malbec well priced and valued. Attractive and easy but less complex and concetrated than before.
