Critic 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

  • Smell: wood, oak, sticks, forrest, cherry
  • Taste: cherry, strawberry, raspberry, wood
  • This wine was pleasantly robust
Overall this wine tasted way better than it smelled, solid wine. I did not pair this wine with food.
