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.

Domados Reserve 2008, a delicate malbec & cabernet blend
Domados Reserve 2008 (Tobiano), By Domados Wines , USD 15
A Malbec 65% and Cabernet 35% blend from La Consulta district of San Carlos Dpt in Uco Valley.
A red cherries dominant malbec with delicate structure and backbone. Mostly fruity with a mild sweet bell peppery note. Nice wideness in the middle palate with an toasty edge. I wound´t say this is a typical La Consulta red. It reminds me some Central Mendoza virtues. An 88 point red with fair price. Probably 2-3 years the older the better.
