2007 Ikal 1150 Malbec

This is a super-ripe, oak-influenced malbec. Sweet vanilla tannin on the nose. Lots of fruit, jammy boisenberry with tons of minerality. Smooth and creamy velvet mouthcoat with some spritz and gripping tannins. A long sweet-vanilla finish. A big wine for big pallates. 91 points. www.ikal1150.com

Produced in the super-ripe oak influenced style. Lots of concentrated tropical fruit on the nose along with loads of vanilla toasty oak. Deep golden color (oak influenced). Very smooth in the mouth but with no detectable butter. The finish was crisp and clean. My favorite part is that you get the sweet oak on the nose and none of it in the finish, like an un-oaked Chardonnay. A very nice 91 points.

Very deep red color. Some blackberry and currant on the nose. There is minerality and earthiness but not overpowering. Some green, but characteristic of the grape. On the palate, smooth with some spice. The wine finishes long and sweet vanilla with more oak tannin than grape tannin. This I enjoyed the most, almost like tasting a cabernet lollypop.
