Professional Review: Delicious Malbec is 100% from Mendoza, Argentina. It has a vibrant red color with violet tones. Subtle and delicious aromas with an intense mixture of red fruits, plum and cherry jam. On the palate it's juicy and has intense wood-like tannins that make it a rustic, yet versatile wine. Long finish.
My Review: This wine felt like a softer version of the Tres Ojos Garnacha I tried right before this one. I could smell a lot of the cherries , violets and berries. It was fruity, but there was almost no real taste for me. It reminded me of a Chardonnay. No real flavor to the taste. This specific bottle had very light tannins even though the tasting sheet said it would have intense wood-like tannins. I do agree with the sheet about the long finish though. I could feel the light cool burn for a solid min after my sip. I had this wine at a tasting without a meal.
