Mendel 2012 Malbec (Luján de Cuyo)

Country: Argentina /
Variety: Malbec Mendoza Province
Winery: Mendel / Luján de Cuyo

Heavy, concentrated aromas of raw oak and related vanilla compete with blackberry and cassis scents. This is full in body, with pushy, grabby tannins. Toasty, creamy blackberry flavors are woody and inky, while the finish tastes baked and blackened. Drink through 2019.
