Shop/wine critic/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:
This wine carries a nice dark clean crimson color, and has notes of blackberry and raspberry on the nose. Upon tasting, this wine is very tannic, acidic, a little hot, and has some earthiness mixed with hints of berry (strawberry and blackberry). This wine is pleasant, but only really ok. 75-76/100
