Winery 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: The nose of this wine was very leathery with hints of spice such as Paprika. Humorously enough, there seemed (to me) to be mild hints of manure or woods/forest. The taste of this wine was very earthy with hints of an oak barrel coming through. I did not pair this wine with any food.
