Trapiche
Broquel Malbec
Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
Deep purple in color with a ruby/ brick rim.
Strong nose of blackberries, blackcurrants, sweet plums, oak, spices, barnyard, vegetables, herbs, graphite, dark chocolates, wet leaves, tobacco, earth and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with plums, black currants, sweet cherries, wood, licorice, spices, earth, light vegetables, coffee herbs, vinaigrette, pencil lead and peppercorn.
Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 5 year old Argentinian Malbec is drinking very nicely now. Well balanced with nice complexity and mouthfeel. Still showing enough fruits with some vegetable notes.
This will not last for a long time, so it's a good time to drink up.
Needs 90 minutes to open up properly, but good right out of the bottle too.
I paired it with cheeses, nuts and crackers.
90 points wine Spectator.
100% Malbec grapes. Aged for 15 months in oak barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
88 points.
$16.

15 months in oak, lots of tannins, tons of fruit. An extra $5 on a Malbec goes a long way. Notes of cherry, vanilla, smoke, oak, spice and green pepper.
