Limited Reserve Malbec Cabernet Sauvignon

Gordon had this 11 years ago

2014 vintage. Opened on 10th August 2019. Light purple. Light tears. Crisp to nose. Light leathery scent. Red fruits flavour strong. Bitter aftertaste. Transient strong tannin flavour. Finishing not impressive.

Very harsh out of the bottle. After breathing a long time the pleasant fruity flavors appear but still slightly overwhelmed by the lingering tannins.

Dry ruby red.

Nose is a bit rough but taste is smooth.

Strong tannin, robust flavor. Cherry, oak, baking spice right off the bat, cinnamon and vanilla. Let it breath for a bit and you get plum and raspberry. Mild to medium acidity. Had this at the Old Homestead with prime porterhouse for two. Amazing with the steak. Also steak was fantastic

Longer decant this time better integration.

Dark ruby. Plum, biscuit, raspberry blueberry scone, almond, chewy. Medium plus acidity, medium minus sugar, medium plus alcohol

Decent post-Sheffield's wine from 1000 liquors
