Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
Medium body, oaky but yet a hint of vanilla.

King Malbec’s packaging features royal caricatures that honor Mendoza, known as the “kingdom” of Malbec. Its message, “The Magnificent One,” encourages one to be a leader and influencer like the King. This 100% Malbec shows deep red with fruit and spice aromas. On the palate red fruit, a bit jammy with spicy notes of black pepper. Heavy dry tannins with bigger acidity. Not well balanced on medium finish, just ok.

Fruit bomb with tiny bit of stinky notes. Bit thin on the palate and not much going on.

Not bad, not great. Just sorta...eh. Not as bad as "meh", so it's got that going for it. Some light pepper and decent dark fruit. It would probably be a good second or third bottle of the night, once you're already half-lit on the good vino. Besides, BOGO at Publix, so it winds up being about $6 a bottle. That'll do, pig. That'll do.
Update: after a couple vacuuvin days, cedar explodes all over it. I don't particularly care for cedar.

Very nice, unexpectedly for its age.

Dried plum start, mellow funk wet wood finish, light on the tongue, not especially sweet or dry.
