Tasting - Alamos

Winery Review: A classically Argentine wine, Alamos Malbec blends the deeply concentrated plum flavors of the country’s signature variety – Malbec – with small portions of Syrah and Bonarda to add dark cherry and blackberry flavors. Well-integrated hints of brown spice and vanilla contribute layers of complexity. A full structure, firm tannins and a long finish make this Malbec unforgettable.

My Review: This Malbec has strong aromas of berries, and once tasted, the flavor of dark berries comes out. These wine leaves a leathery aftertaste in the mouth after drinking it. The wine is dry and acidic, but it is balanced with fruity/berry flavor.

I did not consume any food with this wine.
