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.
Not tasted with food
