2012 Nice Wines Malbec Reserve Review
For all you vintners that wait on my every word for wine reviews you better invite me for a tasting because I get on a kick and review the ever loving shit out of your stuff. Now it may not always be great but I'm going to review it.
This wine was featured at our recent tasting at Nice Wines, who I adore, so we came home with three bottles of it because my wife has a problem. This is 100% Malbec and cultivated, produced and bottled in the Mendoza region of Argentina. I typically LOVE malbecs from Argentina - which is not native to Argentina BTW - but this one didn't speak to me sadly.
In da nose I get wet earth and blackberries that were left on the vine a bit too long. It honestly smells a bit too old or if it spent some time doing construction after Harvey. In da mouf I get that bitter cocoa taste and black olives after they've been stripped out of a martini. These suck to write because I love Nice and everything they do but at the end of the day I have to be honest here. Until people pay me off.
Maybe I'm having a stroke or something (I'm not) but this bottle isn't for me. If you like it tell me why and debate me.
