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.

Kinien, Malbec 2008, an Agrelo malbec with traditional Mendoza´s style
Kinien, Malbec 2008, By Bodega Ruca Malen, USD 24
http://www.bodegarucamalen.com/
A superpremium malbec from Agrelo distric (Lujan de Cuyo Departament) Central Mendoza.
I found great tipicity and an old traditional local style of malbec. Soft and delicate with smooth fruit mostly plum and red cherries in marmalade tone of sweetness. Nice chocolate and toast from mild oak imprints.
A wine to best enjoy 4 to 6 years old, like most fine 'above premium' malbecs. A 90 point malbec and a good value for Argentina´s values.
