Tasting - Maipe Malbec

Name: Maipe Malbec
Variety: 100% Malbec
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2011
Price: $8.95

Winery Review: Deep purple color with violet tints, complex plum, fig, strawberry, spices and floral aromas; rounded and velvety tannins, excellent length with a distinguished character. Excellent when paired with game, roasted red meats, pasta or pizza.

My Review: This wine had a spicy, woody aroma with not much fruit. After tasting, it was smooth on the front and mid palates but had a high tannic finish. I did not get much fruit flavor throughout the wine.

I did not have this wine with food.
