Crios, Susana Balbo, Valle De Uco Mendoza, 2021 Malbec, $11.04-$14.99, 89 points, poured core black grading to a deeply purple/red pigment, a clear meniscus, and stained modest legs.
Dense black fruit aromas were nuanced with hints of cedar-box, coffee, and cigar.
Crios gave us a rich full-bodied red wine with fair acidity, soft round tannins, a luscious mouthfeel, and tasty flavors of plums, black licorice, a hint of mint, citrus, with a slightly sour note.
Finished long on the trailing palate, accelerating red pepper. and a well-balanced 14% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my spice-rubbed rib eye.
