Tasting - Alamos Malbec

Name: Alamos Malbec
Variety: Malbec
Region: Mendoza, Argentina
Country: Argentina
Year: 2011
Price: $10

Winery review: Medium ruby red color, moderate aromas of vanilla, branches and almonds in the nose. Dry, medium-bodied, quite smooth acidity-wise. Tannins strong and hard, somewhat unbalanced. Very peppery and a bit green. Finished short.Felt quite closed. Retried after two days: Nose of raspberry and currants, very appealing. Fresh with black currant aromas. Decant!  (2/26/2013 Cellartracker)  — 88

My review: On perception, the color of the wine was a dark purple. On the nose, it had a very flowery smell. I tasted raspberry flavors and what seemed like chocolate. This was wine was very smooth and I recommend it to anyone. I could see myself drinking this with a good salad.

I tasted this wine without food.
