preludio malbec (mendoza)

Quite stemmy and stalky, with a drawn, green edge to the bouquet. This wine tastes pickled and lean, with underdeveloped red-fruit flavors that border on vegetal but rest on green and lean. Preludio scored better several years ago; since 2003 each subsequent vintage has been weaker.——M.S.(2/1/2009)—— 82

Seems more bretty, gaseous and muddled than it should be. The nose is burnt and rustic, and to an extent so is the palate. Mouthfeel is quite good, and that’s a saving grace because overall there’s an earthy, leathery thing going on that doesn’t really mesh with the Argentine model of clean bold fruit, oak and not much else. ——M.S.(12/1/2008)—— 84

Granular aromas of berry, earth and tar precede a vivacious, rather deep palate of lumbering, chewy black-fruit flavors. It feels right, sits right, and tastes right while leaving chocolate and nutmeg on the finish. Fairly classy and definitely well made. Only 400 cases made. ——M.S.(12/1/2006)—— 89

Rubber and cinnamon aromas along with sweet fruits and bubble gum make for an attractive, easy-to-get nose. Very ripe and saturated in the mouth, with blackberry and plum flavors. Not ultra complex, in fact it’s kind of monotone. But what’s here is easy to like and tasty. Imported by Epic Wines. ——M.S.(12/31/2005)—— 87
