This is a wine that has been long available in Alko. For many years I remember that the vintage on sale was 2007. It only recently changed to 2009. Nowadays Alko announces 2010 on its Internet site but 2009 is still widely available.<\/p>\n
The Malbec Barrel Select 2007 was a very interesting wine and considering the winemaking of this category of wine, I did not expect the 2009 to be too far from the 2007: which means, a bargain. Unfortunately I was proved wrong.<\/p>\n
This wines feels first pretty unpleasant in the nose with dominance of fermentation and dairy aromas. The mouth feels unbalanced and diluted. There is not a lot to add, the wine is unpleasant to drink, not really well done. I don’t expect it to get really better considering the lack of structure. Is it just a problem with this bottle? The wine did not change in three days. In my opinion, this is a major pass.<\/p>\n
