Ruca Malen, Medoza, Argentina, 2021 Malbec, $18.69-$21.99, 90 points, poured core black grading to an opaque purple/red with a broad clear meniscus and sticky stained legs.
Aromas were earthy, fruity, with hints of cloves, mint, and a floral vibe.
This Ruca Malen Malbec was a muscular full-bodied red wine, more intense than any of the other recent Malbecs. The acidity was fair to good, tannins were round and supportive, and flavors were dominated by black licorice, oak, and black fruit.
Finished very long as it began, showed a touch of cayenne pepper, and a big 14.8% alcohol.
Paired fine with my provincial Salisbury steak in gravy with Mac and Cheese.
