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.

Finca Perdriel, Centenario 2006, A superwine and one of the best ever
Finca Perdriel, centenario 2006, By Bodega Norton, USD 66
www.norton.com.ar
A Malbec based blend with some Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from Perdrial Dictrict of Lujan de Cuyo Departament ,Central Mendoza.
A superwine expressing the highest level of quality. Plenty of concentrated and ripe fruits mostly black and red small cherries. An impressive and fine oak component with vanilla and dark chocolate. The overall impression is a fine and elegant wine with expensive attributes and virtues. A 95 point malbec based blend may be not sold international and probably close to 'Norton Privada' or 'Gernot Langes'. One of the best Argentina´s wines ever. Ready to be at its best at 8-10 years old.
