$4 Malbec
Barrio La Boca 2005
Argentina
Trader Joes

Not bad, not bad at all for a bargain Malbec. Rich and earthy flavors with quick tannins and a green astringency. Robust and bitter flavors of coffee and unsweetened cocoa combined nicely with some lighter flavors of dried fruit. Definitely a spicy wine.

I give this wine 4 out of 5 stars.
