As Ive posted on these boards before, Im not the biggest fan of Luigi Bosca. It would be unfair to say that they don't make good wines, but Im just not fond of their house-style.... I have at least 10-12 other producers that I would suggest over Luigi Bosca.

All this doesn't mean that I would not recommend you purchase this... it all depends on what you are looking for and what your budget is. Also, I cant seem to make out from your profile where you are based, and I need to know that to be able to make precise recommendations on some feasible alternatives, should you want to source the wines in your local area.

Please feel free to PM and/or contact me directly by email for further assistance.

Cheers,
Alex / Gaucho100K

Well, still enough time for a glass of wine...

Decided on the only Malbec on display, 2011 Luigi Bosca Malbec, Single Vineyard.

Rather full-bodied, despite it's age, it had a nice spicy taste. Will check my wine store's possibility to get me one or two cases of this wine, maybe a couple of years older, if possible.

Looking forward to comments from Gaucho100K, FT's Malbec guru
