Region: N/A
Country: Argentina
Year: 2008

Shop/wine critic/winery review: Aged for two years in cask, the 2008 Carrascal is a blend of 40% Malbec, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot. It has a rustic blackberry, scorched earth and leather-scented bouquet with touches of pressed flowers. The palate is well-balanced with crisp tannins, expressive black tarry fruit and a Bordeaux-like finish. Drink now-2016.



My review: Just from the smell I know I’m about to be very very unhappy quite soon. It smells of wine vinegar, not even balsamic, there’s no hint of fruit or any redeeming anything. And it tastes of smoked leather dipped in vinegar. There’s still no fruit present. Just…bad.

CONCLUSION: Would not drink again.
