Wine 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: The nose was only okay on this one for me. Not really my cup of tea on this one… or should I say, not my glass of wine. Very earthy and floral. Lots of dark fruits in the smell and taste. I just hate reds because of the tannins and chalky taste in my mouth afterwards.
