Sharp on the nose, full bodied and smokey on the palate, dusty and earthy tannins, rocky finish... Overall lots of character

Jan 22nd, 2015Oh Wilfred Wong, where did it all go wrong. Our favorite Bevmo wine critic gave this jalopy a whopping 96 points! This Argentinian Malbec is one overblown, overdone mess. In an attempt to produce a big wine, the winemaker basically threw everything at this wine but the kitchen sink. It's overly astringent, tannic beyond compare, and maybe the most inky wine I've ever tasted. Drinking this wine is a chore. It's like an enormous slab of meat, complete with gristle and fat, that you labor on tediously until you get the meat sweats. It is in this spirit that I will affectionately refer to this wine as "The Ole 96er."
