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.

Mariflor Malbec 2010, mixed emotion of this Vistaflores & Rolland assemblage
Mariflor, Malbec 2010, By Rolland Collection, USD 22
A malbec from Vistaflores District of Tunuyan Departament, Uco Valley, Mendoza. rollandcollection.com
Now too young malbec showing great fruit and character with very delicate oak stuff like chocolate and cinnamon. Strong alcohol and very nice acidity. A very expressive malbec but not over the top.Quite Vistaflores and quite Rolland too. This red is nice now with I´d say 89 points and 90-92 points next 2 to 4 years down the road (lets say 4 to 6 years from vintage). One of those malbecs to enjoy right now and keep some apart cellaring next few years. Good value.
