Michel Torino 2009 Don David Reserve Malbec (Calchaquí Valley)

Country: Argentina / Don David Reserve
Variety: Malbec Other
Winery: Michel Torino / Calchaquí Valley

A disjointed, out-of-the-box Malbec that starts out peanutty and earthy on the nose. Things round out aromatically, but in the mouth it’s angular and edgy, with stunted blackberry flavors offset by tartness. Has its positives but overall it doesn’t fully click.
