Community Tasting Note

BuffaloLou Likes this wine:

Thursday, January 10, 2013 - First, on the pnp, this was terrible. No fruit, just ripping acidity on the palate. The nose was shut down. After 90 minutes in the bottle and glass, it started to open-up on the palate, but the nose didn't show much more than some earth, a little fruit, and a lot of alcohol.

This is not a big, masculine Malbec. Much softer and delicate. Silky blackberry with a hint of plum on the palate. Short, but dusty finish with a lot of acid. Would do well paired with food. Soft tanins.

Overall, this wasn't bad, but I would not re-buy as it's not my cup of tea. I prefer the big, muscular, Malbecs.
