Weinert Carascal

Variety:40% malbec 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% merlot
Year: 2008
Price: $13.95
Country:Argentina

Vintage Cellar Review:Aged for two years in cask, the 2008 Carrascal is a blend of 40% Malbec, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot. It has a rustic blackberry, scorched earth and leather-scented bouquet with touches of pressed flowers. The palate is well-balanced with crisp tannins, expressive black tarry fruit and a Bordeaux-like finish. Drink now-2016.

My Review:This had a smell that I could not identify, it was almost gassy?  I also had a hard time detecting the tastes, I got a strong unripe tomato taste, lots of tannins, and body.  This wine is intriguing but I would not try to taste it again.  I did not taste this with food.
