Shop Review: This Malbec is red-violet in color, with aromas of plums and black cherries and a subtle, smoky scent. The beauty of Malbec in Argentina is its ability to combine a rich, weighty mouth-feel with a soft silkiness normally associated with lighter wines. Elsa Malbec takes the promise of the nose through to the palate, with dark fruits that mimics the aroma. The soft, supple palate and smooth tannins lead to a round and harmonious finish.

My Review: This wine had a really nice berry aroma. There was a nice crispness in the initial smell. After smelling this wine some more, I was being reminded of alcohol wipes. I did find that the wine had a nutty taste, almost like an almond taste. There was a plum flavor and the finish of this wine was heavier than I had been anticipating.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
