Melipal 2013 Malbec (Mendoza)

Country: Argentina /
Variety: Malbec Mendoza Province
Winery: Melipal / Mendoza

This is a severely oaked wine that sizzles and smokes with aromas of campfire, creosote, road tar and coconut. On the palate, it’s concentrated but also brutish. Roasted oaky black-fruit flavors echo the nose, while mint and chocolate dominate the finish. Time can only help this come around.
