Winery Review: "The 2015 Maipe Malbac is another 100% Malbec, with a deep purple color and a style similar to the Lexicon, with chocolaty, blackcurrant, and blackberry fruit, as well as touches of licorice and earth. It is delicious, soft, and round." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (March 2016), 87 points-- Excellent Wine Values for Under $25
My Review: There was a hint of asparagus on the nose mixed with red cherries. It was quite tannic and chalky on the palate, which was not so pleasant. I tasted this wine on its own with no food. I would give this an 83. The mouth-feel was strange for a while after sipping on this red.
