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.

Melipal Malbec 2008, a premium prime time malbec
Melipal Malbec 2008, By Bodega Melipal, USD 13
A nice Malbec from High Agrelo District in Lujan de Cuyo, Central Mendoza. bodegamelipal.com
It shows a beautiful and balanced mix of red and black cherries (lets say ,more black and less red than lower Central Mendoza but less black than Uco Valley) nestled by simple oak like milk chocolate with minimal vanilla. Quite attractive and easy Malbec. A 90 point red to enjoy between 4 and 6 years at the most. Good value.
