Matuco Malbec (Argentina, 2008)

Category: Malbec — Eddie @ 5:56 pm
This wine is a Malbec from Mendoza Argentina and available at Fresh & Easy.  We got this wine as part of a three bottle twitter tasting with Fresh & Easy that we did yesterday.  We were very excited to try this since the last Malbec from Fresh & Easy was so good.
$10 from Fresh & Easy
Three and a Half Trophies
  • Smells of plumb off the nose.
  • Deep dark and rich colors.
  • Tastes dark fruit and spice with prune at the end.
  • Out of the bottle it was very harsh, but much nicer after decanting.
  • This wine is like a crazy Uncle that says a lot of outlandish things… yet every once in a while, comes up with a comment that really displays a lot of wisdom.

Justagrape.com was provided a complementary bottle of this wine from Fresh & Easy and was not compensated for this review.

    After trying a bottle of Mantuco Malbec, I have become a fan of Malbec. I have tried Tierra Brisa, Belgrano, La Finca and some others. So far, the rich oaken aroma and rich flavor of Mantuco is my favorite.
