A magnificent young wine, the powerful and gifted 2011 Altocedro Malbec Gran Reserva simply takes over the palate and demand attention. Not just another ultra rich wine, this one has the undeniable soul of the ages. Made from vines that are over 100 years old, one gets the sense of place. Drawn from La Consulta in the Valle de Uco from the vast district of Mendoza, this wine stand proudly on the international stage! Black currants, tar and earth gush out as soon as the wine hits the glass. This is one of my top wines of the year! #malbec #argentina #redwine #mendoza #valledeuco #laconsulta #altocedro #karimmussisaffie — 11 years ago
A sturdy mare. Mussel shell, blackberry mignonette, cedar cones, blueberries, rye toast, Parmesan crisps, chocolate and pencil shavings aswim in raspberry liqueur. Medium heavy mouthfeel on this swarthy beast. Tar, cedar bark and black currants with mocha espresso, thyme, allspice and graphite. Take this black beauty to the track for a few laps. #CuvelierLosAndes #LeovillePoyferré #Uco #ValledeUco #Argentineanwine #sawine #malbecmalbec #malbecsyrahblend — 8 years ago

I’ve been on a QPR kick lately with this $11 Costco #valledeuco #malbec. Expected bramble fruit, leather notes on the nose but the fresh acidity, balance and restraint on the palate are much appreciated. — 3 years ago
