Bodega Amalaya

Gran Corte Valle Calchaquí Malbec Blend

Nice, simple, fruity, and smooth. I feel it is significantly under-rated by the score above. To me this is a 90-91. It’s not complex but it’s damn good and an utter steal for $9.99 — 10 months ago

Bodega San Pedro de Yacochuya

Cafayate Malbec 2000

This is a big one, bold, juicy, with real presence of the 16% alcohol despite the age. Nose of blackberry, pine wood, vanilla, band-aid, somewhat musty clothes, and cacao. The age is definitely there in the musk and dustiness, but it’s unclear what to expect with a beast like this. Full bodied, dark purple/red and deep color, but no sense of the age in the color. Palate shows more of the age, deep chocolate notes, overripe plum, driftwood, slate and some malo-like milky elements. The alcohol is definitely there, with a finish like menthol, softened but present, well integrated tannins, with those Chico-raspberry like hints lingering for a long time into a finish that’s round and somewhat meaty. Weirdly, VERY strangely, tastes a little bit like skin. — 2 months ago
