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.

My
review: Not impressed this wine. It
seems overpriced and I would much rather have just had another Malbec. The nose
had some funky barnyard components to it along with some leather. It was light
on tannins, which I liked for this wine, but the funkiness was something I
couldn’t get over.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
