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.

Clos des Andes, Malbec 2006, a superhigh quality red
Clos des Andes, Reserva Malbec 2006, By Bodega Poesia, USD 30
www.bodegapoesia.com
A malbec (with 40% of Cabernet Sauvignon) from a single vineyard in Mayor Drummond district of Lujan de Cuyo Departament, Central Mendoza.
Astonishing malbec based red that catches your palate right off the first sip. Not to mention the great nose and aromas at the beginning. Deep and powerfull with very expressive black fruits and sweet chocolate. There is a complexity toward spice and peppery notes. The wine opens up completely after 40 minutes. I don´t imagne this one better in any time of the future even though the tannins are realy firm and vividly strong. Thinking of 6 to 8 years for a momentum is reasonable. A 94 point malbec based blend born to be a supergreat wine and Argentina´s value.
