Tikal, Natural, Malbec 2010, By Ernesto Catena Vineyards, USD 20
A malbec from vineyards located in Uco Valley http://www.tikalwines.com/
and 'certified organic by
http://www.letis.org/
A fairly dark red malbec with brightness and a fresh toach of mostly red cherries and sweet plum a little bit underpowered given the terroir it comes from. Very nice dark chocolate and coffee from oak. Smooth and palatable all through. A Malbec from Uco´s that can easily be reached at 15 bucks level, so it looks to me like 5 bucks overpriced. An 89 point malbec at the quality of premium (lets say 10 to 14 bucks). I wouldn´t pay this price twice as I said it can be got at a lower price.
