Tasting - Maipe







Name: Maipe
Variety: Malbec
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Price: $11.99
Shop Review: "This Malbec has a deep purple color with violet tints, complex plum, fig, strawberry, spices and floral aromas; rounded and velvety tannins, excellent length with a distinguished character. Excellent when paired with game, roasted red meats, pasta or pizza."

My Review: The nose on this wine is quite complex and was slightly confusing. While it was very heavy in fruitiness it also had a lot of spice. The taste of the wine is heavy in tannins and very full bodied. Overall, I enjoyed this wine and would recommend it with a nice steak.
