BenMarco Malbec 2005
Beautiful purple color with perfumed aromas of ripe red fruits and roasted coffee beans. It is lush, bull-bodied and penetrating on the palate with loads of chewy, currant jam flavors, bright acidity, and a touch of grip on the almost savory finish. This wine really unfolds with some air so try not to slurp it down in a rush, and it shows why the Argentine people are in love with Malbec. Pedro blended in some Bonarda for greater complexity and to achieve better balance. Pairs well with a wide range of foods including beef, sausages, spiced or grilled pork, veal, medium-strong cheeses, and meat-based pasta sauces. Wine Spectator Medium-weight, with good juicy red currant, plum and sweet spice notes, followed by a hint of licorice on the finish. This was the better of two bottles. Drink now. Score: 87. —James Molesworth, October 15, 2007. |
