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.

Riglos Gran Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, one of the best ARG Cab I´ve ever tasted
Riglos, Gran Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, By Finca Las Divas S.A., USD 22
www.bodegariglos.com
A wonderful Cab fron a single vineyard (Finca Las Divas) in Tupungato Valley (part of Uco Valley).
Full body red with ripe fruits, mostly black cherries, sweet plum and confited quince like 'membrillo'.
Beautifull balance of alcohol and acidity with a astonishing equilibrium. I wound´t go less than 95 point on this Cab, and one of the best Argentina´s I´ve ever seen. I feel this Cab is best like it is now and all through its plateau of 4 to 8 years. I don´t feel it´ll be better with more terciary notes, but this is personal bias.
