Tasting-Entrada Malbec (red)-

Name: Entrada
Variety: Malbec
Region: N/A
Country: Chile
Year: 2013
Price: $5.95

Shop/wine critic/winery review: Firm and structured, this is a solid wine, laced with mineral acidity and tight tannins. It has a juicy, blackberry fruit component cutting through the texture.







My review: You can smell the tannins, I’m not sure that’s actually what’s coming through or the smell just makes me think of styles heavy on the tannins. Either way I’m not please and rather nervous to try it. There’s a slight wiff of berry coming though the tannin. It’s got a strange woodish aftertaste. Not vanilla or any of the aged in barrel kind of taste, more as if there’s actually rotten pieces of wood floating in it. Teeny jam like experience before the wood and tannins take over.

CONCLUSION: Would not drink again.


Not tasted with food
