La Madras Vineyard El Malbec

This is what Argentine Malbec should strive for - freshness, balance, not too extracted or oaky.

Blind wine #5---nailed this one

Ripe fruit and tannin, but with much less oak than most high-end Malbec (not that this is expensive, but it is serious). Elegant.

Medium ruby; medium plus intensity aromas of red and black plum, red cherry

Broad. But rather lacking in what we were looking for. A little more spice would have been nice. 14.69 at Costco. Might not get again.

Ah, the 2010 vintage of Ricardo Santos Malbec, a transcendental libation that beckons the soul into the labyrinthine depths of vinicultural exuberance. As I imbibed this elixir, my palate embarked on an odyssey through an enigmatic symphony of hedonistic flavors. The terroir speaks with the eloquence of a thousand poets, invoking an avant-garde pas de deux between dark fruit and enigmatic earthiness.

The tannins, oh, the tannins! Like philosophers engaged in a Socratic dialogue with one's senses, they debate their existence before yielding to a seductive silkiness that borders on a Vinous epiphany. Its finish lingers, not unlike the sermons of a zealous street preacher, echoing in the inner sanctum of one's mind.

In conclusion, Ricardo Santos' 2010 Malbec is a vinous riddle wrapped in an enigmatic enigma, destined to provoke laughter, tears, and existential contemplation. A masterpiece of humorous absurdity in a glass!

Loud but fair and v good

This wine tasted horrible. Must have gotten a bad bottle based on pro ratings

Brandy and red berry notes with black pepper on the back end.

16.5/20 (90/100) Элегантный аромат с нотами спелых ягод черники, ежевики, ванили и шоколада. Дуб хорошо интегрирован. Довольно тельное и кислотное. Танины мягкие и бархатистые. Приятный мальбек.
