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: This wine had a more brown/maroon color, which matched the earthy aromas. On the palate it was spicy and burnt with leather on the finish. I picked up on the scorched earth and tannis, along with a very slight taste of berry.
