Solsticio 2008 Malbec (Mendoza)

Country: Argentina /
Variety: Malbec Mendoza Province
Winery: Solsticio / Mendoza

A big wine that handles its 15.3% abv. Smells of pastry, earth and soft berry fruit. Feels round but reticent, with no fire or heat but plenty of blackberry, molasses and coffee. Mellow, toasty and blackened on the finish, with an earthy feel and a baked aftertaste.
