2016 Mt. Brave Malbec

Community Tasting Note

Does not like this wine:

87 Points

Friday, August 14, 2020 - Poured through AeroVin into a decanter, where it rested an hour before drinking. Very deep dark purple magenta color. Underripe spiced plum, black cherry, pecan, wild strawberry and rainy day on the oddly tart/dank nose. Smooth, dry, tart, chalky palate. Firm, full tannins on the long finish.

This was surprisingly disappointing. No sign of damage, just a poor nose. It’s possible it’s just too young, but that makes no sense for a Malbec. I don’t see this improving.
