Tasting Notes: Dark red with hints of violet, intense and appealing in colour, predominant juicy aromas of berries and plum jam, the light oak enhanced into a vanilla, biscuity touch warm smooth balance.
For all you oak lovers, there's one oak-inspired malbec in this lot as well. The 2004 Trapiche Oak Cask Malbec is a super-saver for $9. Plum and cherry notes abound on the nose, but this malbec is more tannic and would suit dry-wine lovers best. The aftertaste does have some tang to it, and although it won't take you to the moon, it's still good enough to be approved by three out of four astronauts.
I say: very good, would buy a couple bottles to keep on hand for meaty dishes
