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.

Profuso, a fortified Malbec from Maipu leading the trend
Profuso, Encabezado de Malbec 2006, By Bodega Trapiche, USD 17 (500 ml)
www.trapiche.com.ar
A malbec Port-like (fortified) from Maipu Departament, central mendoza, with 18 % vol alcohol and 11,8 gr residual sugar. 24 months in oak barriques.
This time not less than a magnificent red where the sweetness is complely balanced by chocolate and dark dry cherries and blueberries. Something like toasted fresh figs with dark sugar. A 90 point fortified malbec complex and balanced.It will live sound more than 10 yeras for sure.
