Shop Review: Stout and dense from the beginning, with blackberry and violet aromas. Despite being a bold and dark Malbec, this is fresh and composed, with sweet blackberry and cassis flavors. Good on the finish, with candied fruit and caramel sweetness.
My Review: Honestly, the nose of this wine wasn't anything to write home about. It just smelled like any other wine to me. There was a chlorine taste to the wine, and it was definitely fruity, as the blackberries came through. After the wine we had before this, though, I still couldn't get the barnyard theme out of my head, and had trouble really tasting this one.
With Food? No
