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.

Finca El Origen, Malbec Reserve 2010, impressive Uco's Malbec
Finca El Origen, Malbec Reserva 2010, By Bodega y Viñedos La Esperanza, USD 14

A beautiful malbec from Tunuyan Departament in the middle of Uco Vallley, Mendoza.
Full of tipical black fruits like cherries, berries and currants that you expext from Uco Valley. Nice and round with a bit of chocolate and spice. The alcohol and acidity run smooth and make the wine easy to drink. Easy to love malbec with the basics of Uco´s and malbec´s so the bottom line is clear. An 89 point red easy to reach 90 or 91 in a couple of years cellar where the 'adulthood' maturity may bring some nice terciary note (as I feel it and personally like it !). Even so a malbec to better see it before 4 y/o.
