Casey @ Travelling Corkscrew

Yep we literally are living out of our suitcases until all our stuff arrives from Perth which means dinner on the floor with plastic plates & cutlery. We’re also trying to save money due to launching a small business which means food & wine from Aldi. This is one of their $10 reds from Argentina 🇦🇷.

It’s a typical colour for a Malbec - deep purple-y red. The nose is also deep and dark with black plums and spice dominating for me. In the mouth it’s juicy and easy drinking. It’s your every day quaffable red wine. The decent tannin and acidity suggests it’d be a great bbq meat feast wine. Mr. Spittoon didn’t really agree with the 93 points by James Suckling sticker on the label, even for the $10 price tag 😳

All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #tcweekdaywine
