Tasting Note:  Winemaker’s Selection Malbec by Sur De Los Andes, Mendoza 2005 I’m miles away from having enough wine to call a ‘cellar’ but I do always have a few bottles lying down.  I opened one of them, a Malbec by Sur De Los Andes, last week after keeping it for two-or-so years.  A 2005 vintage, it was a little young when bought but is drinking well now and could even be laid down for a little longer. A deep, violet-hued red in the glass, this Malbec is full-bodied with dense, dark fruits on the palate, including blackcurrant and black cherry compote.  Hints of cocoa are hiding behind the fruit and following on from a seductive nose of prunes and blackcurrant pastilles.
