Intipalka 2012 Valle del Sol Reserva Malbec-Merlot (Ica)

Country: Peru / Valle del Sol Reserva
Variety: Malbec-Merlot Ica
Winery: Intipalka /

Earthy plum and blackberry aromas are crisp and raw, with overt wood grain riding heavily on the bouquet. This is 60% Merlot and 40% Malbec; it feels grabby, while toasty, heavily oaked flavors of clove and bitter chocolate smother the wine’s fruit before turning charred and roasted on the finish.
