Tasting- "Weinert Carrascal"



Weinert
Carrascal
Argentina
2008
$13.95

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: This was an extremely earthy wine. It had moss, leather, and oak smells wrapped in a wet tire. The only actual fruit I smelled was black currant. I really enjoyed this interesting and complex wine.


This wine was tasted without food.
