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.

Zorzal, Malbec Reserve 2010, an orginal malbec from Gualtallary district whithin the bounderies of Uco Valley
Zorzal, Malbec Reserve 2010, By Zorzal Wines, USD 17
A malbec from Gualtallary Distric in Tupungato Departament, Uco Valley, Mendoza.

An impressive malbec by its potential. Very concentrated by nature; Full of ripe black cherries and currants,
a little more attractive tha the usual Uco´s malbec. A nice spiciness and chocolaty note. quite ripe and chewy
This malbec harbors a great ageing potential and a better structure than Uco´s standard. Wide in palate and mouth filling like few. This time showing a little bit shortness that I imagine might be related to a young age vineyard. On in on a 90 point malbec that sholud get much more better in 4 to 6 years old. I think its a great value.
