Don David Reserve Malbec

Tasting Note: This is one exotic number. The nose shows blueberry, boysenberry, charcoal, plenty of oak and hints of cardamom and star anise. A lush, layered palate is intense but doesn’t hit too hard, while concentrated blackberry, licorice and spice flavors set up a peppery, minty finish that’s stout and structured. Score – 91.
