Antonio Gonzalez 2008 Don Antonio Grand Reserva Malbec (Mendoza)

Country: Argentina / Don Antonio Grand Reserva
Variety: Malbec Mendoza Province
Winery: Antonio Gonzalez / Mendoza

Eight years down the line and this Malbec shows the flaws caused by a harvest marred by freezes. This smells like a mix of green bean and jammy boysenberry. The palate feels saturated but soupy, with outsize acidity. Green-herb flavors mix with baked plum and blueberry, while the finish feels sticky, tannic and heavy.
