Viu Manent 2008 Secreto Malbec (Colchagua Valley)

Country: Chile / Secreto
Variety: Malbec Colchagua Valley
Winery: Viu Manent /

Quite charred and hard, which is something I can’t remember in tasting VM’s wines for the past decade. It’s also plummy and thick, with a flat palate that doesn’t register on the mouthfeel meter. Flavors of black fruits are lemony from the oak and generic, while the finish is round and basic.
