Mendoza
A blend of Syrah (75 per cent), Malbec (20) and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Decanted about 90 minutes before supper. Note: The wine didn't need to be decanted this long, I simply made a mistake about the time we would be eating.
Very dark purple in the glass.
A lovely nose: chocolate, cedar, red licorice, spicy, rich berry fruit.
Very rich, fleshy and juicy black cherry, raspberry and red currants, tangy, dark chocolate, medium weight, cedar, drying, red licorice, dense, tobacco.
Sweet fruit on the very long finish.
Very plush, rich and intense. Went very well with a roast beef.
Purchased at $17.95 (Canadian).
