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: This ruby red wine was just old
smelling; I got a leathery, musty smell. On the palate, this wine was tart with
tannins and had a burned taste to it; very distinct.
Food: Did not have with food
