Winery 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.
Personal Review: This wine was a ruby red. On the nose I got a leathery, musty and old smell. This wine was overpowering and unmistakable. It tasted burned. It was tart and edgy. The finish was rough. It was unmistakable. It was very distinct. I think that it would taste better with food. Maybe?
