BODEGA ACHAVAL FERRER MALBEC 2005

To me, Malbec is synonymous with Argentinian wine, as they produce lots of this delicious varietal. Julia and I received a bottle of Achaval Ferrer from Jan for Christmas (thank you Jan!).

The first thing that came to mind when I tasted it was "round." It has a very round mouth feel; it is well balanced with nice tannins and a bit of tartness. Julia noticed hints of blackberry, and a flavour that she first thought was plastic, but after reading another review, was more accurately described as tarry. But in a good way.
