This wine went down way too easy! Tikal "Amorio" is 85% Malbec and 15% Petit Verdot from 13 year old vines located at 3,000 feet elevation. This wine spent 12 months in 70% French & 30% American oak; 70% new, 30% 2nd & 3rd use. 93 Wine Advocate, 91 Vinous

The initial earth on the nose subsided as the wine oxidated. Chocolate tannins. Dark fruit but minimal. Rich enough for skirt steak. Simple dry red wine with medium plus body. Well made but a little too chocolatey for serious wine.

Delicious #Malbec incredibly smooth. The Petite Verdot blended in w/ the Malbec adds a nice complexity.
