Professional Wine Review: This offers luscious dark plum, dried cherry and mocha notes that are supported by medium-grained tannins. Chocolate, cream and spice flavors fill the midpalate and linger on the rich finish. [1]
Wine Folly Review: Malbec is best described by WineFolly as a dry, full body wine with equal levels of tannins and acidity. With primary flavors such as red plum, blackberry, vanilla, sweet tobacco, and cocoa. On the darker side of red wines, this is not one to miss out on. [2]
Personal Wine Review: I have reviewed a few Malbec wines throughout the course of this class, but I think this one was one of the most intense and vibrate Malbec wins I have ever had. The wine had this incredibly underwhelming aroma to it, it made itself seem as if it was a light wine. This is quite the contrary, the wine was intense, very dry, and with a strong finish. Literally "woah". It was hard, jammy, and tasted of licorice and dark fruit. It was sweet but also not sweet. It was a great wine that I would definitely try to have again.
