Professional Review (from vivino): The Gascon Malbec a very good starting point for those getting their feet wet with Malbec. The oak influence is almost non-existent but comes through as a nice velvety texture on the palate. The nose is ripe with berry fruits both red and blue and has plenty of violet notes as well. The palate lacks depth but the wine is still there and is easy to enjoy. Paired with a nice seared steak, the Gascon Malbec should shine
My Review: I was excited to begin trying malbecs, and this was the one that was recommended to me to start. I really enjoyed this wine. It was very well balanced and had some rich dark fruits on the nose that came out excellently on the palate. The finish was the perfect length and still smooth, without being too acidic. I will definitely buy this wine again. The best thing about it was the fullness of body while stay maintaining an effortless drink.
