Tasting- Maipe Malbec

Name: Maipe
Variety: Malbec
Region:  Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 201
Price: 8.95

Winery Review:  Deep purple color with violet tints, complex plum,
fig, strawberry, spices and floral aromas; rounded and velvety tannins, excellent
length with a distinguished character. Excellent when paired with game, roasted red meats, pasta or pizza.

Personal Review: The nose was very oaky and dry. The taste could be described as spicy and zingy. I got hints of dark fruit. The spices really overpowered the other flavors in the wine. It was okay, but not my favorite. I did not pair it with food.
