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.

Conalbi Grinberg Cabernet Sauvignon 2000, still a good example where a CS may reach in Argentina
Conalbi Grinberg, Cabernet Sauvignon 2000, By CG Casa Vinicola, USD 15

A CS from somewhere in Mendoza showing a nice backbone even its 12 years´ walking.
Good balance of alcohol and acidity with soft and easy tannnins that have some nice memories of a very good Cabernet Sauvignon some years before. An 87 point red reaching beyond 89 a couple of years back. Good value though.
