Bodega Toneles, Tonel 46 Reserve Malbec, Mendoza

Meh. Acrid tannins are a bit harsh and not much character in terms of fruit to offset that. Not off putting though.

91! 🤣 This is average at best. Plum and dark cherry with too much acidic bite. Better with food. Don’t think I’ll buy again.

The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like raspberry.

An ok basic Malbec. Big fruit, but muted distinct flavors. The body is smooth, almost too smooth, in the middle and a not memorable finish. Drink now. The 91 Parker is astounding to me! There is no way I could imagine this bottle to be close to that

13.5% alcohol; imported by Tri-Vin Imports, Inc., Mt. Vernon, NY; thin foil, composite cork, long legs, dark ruby red, nose of alcohol, citrus, tart cherries, sweet cherries, rhubarb; vinturied and tasted at approximately 11 degrees C (the vintner recommends drinking it at 14-16 C), medium to full bodied, slight tang, not fruit forward, notes of minerals, earth, traces of chocolate, heavy cream, tobacco, popsicle stick; sweetness is somewhat reduced in favor of a mineral/earth background; sourness predominates to some extent, …

Looking for an everyday Malbec and this is not the one for me. Simply put just a basic Malbec in flavor and overall impression. Medium body and slightly tart and light tannin on the finish.
