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.

El Celador, Malbec 2008, an impressive Lunlunta Malbec by Gustavo Santaolalla & friends
El Celador, Malbec 2008, By Cielo y Tierra, USD 16

A single vineyard (finca La Luna) Malbec from Lunlunta district of Maipu Departament, Central Mendoza.
Ripe red and black plum with cherries and black currant dominate. Impressive oak like chocolate and coconut.
Nice and attractive passage though the palate. A 90 point malbec easy to please anybody given the ripe fruit and the strong oak.
Very good value. A malbec to enjoy best first 4 to 6 years old.
