The Show El Alto Vineyard Malbec

Had a bad end to the work day. Saw my crappy schedule and found out my days off switched even though I made plans. Gotta love retail workers who only want to work 9-5. This helped to soothe my rage😉

May 4th, 2018Dry and light but not watery. Fruit forward but not sweet and peppery after taste. Delicious! Would buy again!

Yes this is informal, suck it.
Almost brown color, fast legs.
Never smelled a wine like this before! Without wine folly as my guide I'm not sure I could have identified these smells. Only one I got without the book is cocoa(I said chocolate-but it's definitely cocoa) and now I can't get over the tobacco. With some trouble I found the blubbery. Been around too many Italian wines, lots of alcohol distracting my nose. Utterly fascinating smell though. Overwhelmingly summer sausage now!
Taste: meaty, dark mulled fruits, so dark they taste past ripe. I can taste the tobacco smell
Medium plus tannins. Medium minus acidity.
I'm giving this a high score simply because I've never encountered anything like it.

This was a gift. I tried it. Didn't really come together for me. I would try it again.
