Professional Wine Review: Alamos Malbec offers layers of dark cherry and blackberry and a velvety mouthfeel. Aromas of violet intertwine with spice and vanilla, while balanced tannins create a velvety mouthfeel and expansive finish. This Malbec delivers a complex fine red wine that pairs beautifully with a wide range of cuisine and goes beyond the expected. [1]
Wine Folly Review: According to Wine Folly, Malbec is a medium dry but full body wine with a primary flavor base of red plum, blackberry, vanilla, sweet tobacco, and cocoa. With medium tannins and medium-low acidity, Malbec is the perfect wine for individuals that find the harshness of Cabernet Sauvignon or Tannat too extreme for their pallet. Having a deep purple color, this wine does not disappoint in experience of drinking the wine. Originally from France, Malbec is now known as the wine of Argentina. [2]
Personal Wine Review: I have had Alamos Malbec before, but I have never HAD Alamos Malbec in the sense of this class. I have never deeply analyzed the wine by aroma and taste. The aromas that this wine provided were of heavy berry and slight acidity. When I tasted the wine, I found the wine to be smooth. This was not surprising, but I had not put it to words before. Additionally, I found a mineral and cherry taste to the wine. The finish of the wine was slightly long, but not overpowering in any regard. Very strong beginning, but very short end. Overall, I love this wine and will definitely have it again. No food was consumed with this tasting.
