Winery Review: “Aged
for two years in cask, the 2009 Carrascal is a blend of 40% Malbec, 25%
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 Bordeaux-like
finish. Drink now-2016.”
Personal Review: The nose of this
wine was interesting. It smelled like a spice box with too many spices and a lot
of pepper. It smelled a little bit acidic, like lime juice. It reminded me of a
leather saddle, which is one of my favorite smells from growing up riding horses,
but not a smell I would want in a drink! It also had a dirt, mulch component to
it. After tasting this wine, all I could decide was that it was bad! I did not
like this wine at all. It tasted earthy, like mulch and grass. I am not
interested in tasting this wine with food.
