Good Malbec ?

[garryl]

Guys, this might be boring.

The white house staff agreed with using Angélica Zapata Malbec Alta from Mendoza to entertain presidente Obama.
is this considered a great Malbec ?

2008 Angélica Zapata sold $275 bottle in US.

Obama is not interested in visiting other South American countries but Argentina this time, all other South American countries are either in political mess or pissed off US.
The US ambassador Mamet (nominated by Obama) made a lot of effort to make the trip happen, looks like US and Argentina will have a honeymmon for a short while. All US expats will have free medical coverage, just kidding.
