I'm not much on Malbec but this was very easy to drink. No paint smell. Just blackberries, graphite, plum that washed down with smooth almost non existent tannins. Very flavorful and effortless Malbec for the 💰

1st of 3 Mendoza Malbecs for NYT Wine School. Uco Valley, high altitudes, calcarean soil, fermented in concrete eggs. Medium/deep purple, blackberry and mint on the nose. Blackberry, plum, boysenberry, mint, pepper, and minerals on the palate. Needed a lot of time to open up. Some alcohol burn. It’s good and well made but doesn’t change my overall impression that Malbecs are kind of boring.

Smooth fruit flavors with a subtle mineral flavor with a small finish. Different in a good way compared to most Malbec.
