Tasting notes of a local wine lover without elegant literacy or web design. Just plain wine talk. By the same token I analyze the opened bottle with my senses, just at the very end I re-check the producer (I first checked it when bought it for sure!),vintage,terroir,and price. These data allow me to reconstruct the wine and trace a botton line.

Telteca, Malbec Oak 2009, a good Malbec under 10 bucks
Telteca, Malbec Oak 2009, By Telteca Wines, USD 8
A good malbec from Barrancas District in maipu Dpt, Central Mendoza.
Nice balanced red with most of the virtues of a good central mendoza (for the most ,Maipu & Lujan de Cuyo Dpt)
Nice chocolaty note. Easy to drink and enjoy. Not very complex neither concentrated which is realistic at this price level.
Looks like young vineyards with correct yields and field management by the producers. A young yet adecuate and attractive malbec under the premium level but with very good performance. A typical Argentina's value.
An 86 points malbec and very good value. I guess better drunk before 4 years old.
