Gary´s scoring and preferences reflec his personal standpoint. Mine is problably the opposite. 84-85 for Punto Final Malbec 2006 (Lujan de Cuyo) is 86 and 86 for de Origen Malbec 2004 (Cahort) is 83-84 or even less. If its not very drinkable its no very good at all! Toothpaste component? That´s akward to a wine.
Anyway I liked the way Gary put every bottle on the table.
