• 2005 Bodega Mendel Malbec - Argentina, Mendoza (9/17/2008)
  Popped the cork and set on the counter, poured first glass after about an hour. Deep purple, quite pretty to look at. Blackberry, raspberry, misc. black fruits, cocoa powder, hint of tobacco leaf and minerals on the nose. Touch of heat too. Plush and substantial, this Malbec tastes of blackberry, blueberry and loamy, mineral-laden earth. Nice acidity to go with the big tannins. All-in-all, very good juice (although the heat is slightly distracting). Will definitely improve with 2-4 years in the cellar. (90 pts.)
