Tasting of Malbec - Las Moras Malbec Reserve 2011

Country of origin: Argentina

Wine appellation: San Juan
Vintage: 2011
Alcohol content: 14.0%
Color: deep ruby red
Bouquet: black sour cherries, black chocolate
Taste: medium body, similar to nose the dominant fruit is black sour cherry with good underlying acidity, supported by black chocolate and  longer finish
Overall score: 4+7.5+12+6.5+7=86.5
Price: CZK 229
Stopper: cork
Good example of Malbec where the fruit is nicely combined with oak and black chocolate, will improve over 2-5 years as seen on the same wine but 2005 vintage tasted at the same time.
