Vintage Cellar Review: Aged for two years in cask, the 2008 Carrascal is a blend of 40% Malbec, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot. It has a rustic blackberry, scorched earth and leather-scented bouquet with touches of pressed flowers. The palate is well-balanced with crisp tannins, expressive black tarry fruit and a Bordeaux-like finish. Drink now-2016.
My Review: This wine smelled like strawberries but tasted very differently from any wine I have tried before. It was a taste which was very hard to place - maybe raspberry tart or some other berry.
