About the Wine: Malbecs are variously described as "rustic," "earthy," and "unpleasant." When done right these wines offer an excellent drinking experience, one that is full and rich but also smooth and layered.
About THIS Wine: It is nearly opaque in the glass with a violet rim, promising a heavy, tannic wine. The nose is very thick with dominant cassis and notes of chocolate. The palate is heavy with a flavor vaguely reminiscent of stout beer followed by a jammy fruit finish.
Drinking This Wine: This Malbec benefits greatly from having some time to open up before drinking. Ique is a bit heavy and thick for a sipping wine. More than anything else it made me crave a slice of stuffed crust pizza.
Overall Impression: The wine is decent and the price is hard to beat. This wine is good for the price.
