According to Totalwine.com “The nose offers bright black cherry aromas with light floral notes and a touch of toast. The mouthfeel is full and rich, with ripe, concentrated cassis and black raspberry fruit flavors interwoven with a touch of chocolate and sweet spice from light oak aging”
This wine was bursting with plum aroma. Upon tasting it was not very sweet, but had chocolate and herbal notes. It was a full bodied wine with medium tannins and some sweetness. I definitely agree with the review that mouthfeel is full and rich. According to page 125 of Wine Folly, Malbec has sweet tobacco flavors which I definitely tasted, as well as blackberry flavors, which were not as noticeable in this wine.
Overall this was a good wine! I really enjoyed the plum and cocoa flavors. With it was full bodied the wine did not have a long finish which made the wine seem lighter. I also enjoyed the medium tannins which added to the complexity of the wine without making it too rich. I would purchase this wine again. I did not try this wine with food.
