Tasting - Maipe

Name: Maipe

Variety: Malbec


Region: Mendoza

Country: Argentina

Year: 2015

Price: $6.95
Winery Review: "The 2015 Maipe Malbec is another 100% Malbec, with a deep purple color and a style similar to the Lexicon, with chocolaty, blackcurrant and blackberry fruit, as well as touches of licorice and earth. It is delicious, soft and round." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (March 2016), 87 pts - Excellent Wine Values for Under $25

My Review:  This wine contained many interesting elements. The smell was that of alcohol as well as spice. I thought the flavor was very woody and very earthy. This wine was also quite dry. If I had to narrow down the flavor to one element though I would say that it tastes like and unripe blackberry.
