Tasting - Zuccardi Q Malbec

Name: Zuccardi Q Malbec
Variety: 100% Malbec
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Price: $20

Winery Review: Deep purple color, with bluish hues. Intense red and black fruits aromas, such as blackberries, cassis, and currant dried figs and blueberry jelly. French oak aging provides tobacco and chocolate hints. Soft and silky entry with great structure and firm, sweet tannins. Long finish.

My Review:
The nose hits hard with this one. Big aromas come through with hints of blackberries, cherries, raspberries, and a jam/jelly component. The taste was similar to what I expect with Malbecs which is good. I got a bit of red fruit with hints of chocolate. It was silky on the palate and had a smooth finish. The tannins were pretty soft to allow just the right amount of complexity to this wine. I very much enjoyed this one and would go back to it.
