Ok. Hard to find a good Malbec from traders. Probably good for the price. A little runny but overall pleasant.

Full bodied and tanic but with lifted fruit on the nose and pallet. Reminded me in some subtle ways of a fruitier styled Syrah, with some light floral and blue fruit flavors. Better day 2, and could stand to lay down for a couple of years. Not bad!

Absolutely exactly like the wonderful black wine we enjoyed as we travelled thru Cahors last fall. Don’t miss this one, it will save you a ‘couple thousand in airfare:)

Rich, smooth Malbec (one of the few pure Mslbecs from France) at Bistro du Midi in Back Bay, Boston

Shoe polish peppery. The bouquet reminds me of a musky, spicy, fragrant cologne my grandfather might have worn in the early 90s.

Takes me back.

Licorice, black cherry, and just a hint of banana peel in the bouquet.

At first taste:

Woah. Flavor bomb.

Rich. All this fruit you don’t sense in the bouquet comes alive. It’s as if you’re berry picking on the French countryside, popping handfuls of mixed berries into your mouth at a time.

$11.99 at TJ. This is a steal.
