Ruca Malen 2009 Reserva Malbec (Mendoza)

Country: Argentina / Reserva
Variety: Malbec Mendoza Province
Winery: Ruca Malen / Mendoza

Smells sort of furry and earthy initially, with notes of graphite and woodspice. Feels narrow and grabby, with pointed acididty framing red plum, cherry and lightly oaky, minty flavors. Fits the definition of good but regular Malbec.
