Robert Parker Review:
The 2015 Maipe Malbec is another 100% Malbec, with a deep purple color and a style similar to the Lexicon, with chocolaty, blackcurrant and blackberry fruit, as well as touches of licorice and earth. It is delicious, soft and round. 87 points.
My Review:
This wine smelled sweet with a hint of rubber sole from a shoe. There seemed to be a hint of cinnamon smell as well, except there was not outward spiciness that hits you. I would say that it was more sweet smelling like sugar rather than fruity. When tasted there were little hints of rotten strawberries with the heat on the end with a sub par aftertaste. I felt like I needed a piece of gum after drinking that because it did not end the best way it could have. There was an overall smooth flavor, but no sugar flavor.
