Luca 2008

Argentina Malbec. Tasted this gem so many times, never fails to impress everytime. A gentle swirl in the glass releases strong and complex aromatics of warm Asian spices. Upon entry, builds up and up in flavours and complexity. Dark chocolates with hint (pleasant) of bitterness. Mouth-coating, lucious. Strong lingering finish. Superb (8.9/10).

The thing about young New World wines is that they're almost always immediately accessible - on the other hand drinking a GCC left bank Bordeaux 3 years old will more likely yield a tannic torture experience than any real pleasure.
