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.

Malbec de Angeles 2008, a wonderful and expressive malbec from Vistalba
Malbec de Angeles 2008, By Bodega Viña 1924 de Angeles , USD 19
www.malbecdeangeles.com
A single vineyard malbec from Vistalba district of Lujan de Cuyo Dpt in Central Mendoza.
Dark black and sour plums dominate the scene with beautiful dark chocolate 80-90% cocoa. Quite nicely balanced and attractive. An allspice moving around very softly. Wide and seductive palate lingering nicely after. A malbec to enjoy best before 6 years old to my palate. A 92 point malbec and a great value. One of the top ten at 20 bucks premium level.
