Wine: Tilia Malbec, 2011
Origin: Mendoza, Argentina
Price: $12.95
CC score: 5 of 5 =TDF
My darling James bought me this Friday-night companion, and it's another 5/5, and my new fave! It is really, really lovely. I think I'm becoming fixated on these gorgeous Malbecs. And, hey! I found this guy when I searched this wine! He's a kindred Wino! I Liked him!
I was looking for a word to capture the experience and Jon Thorsen beat me to the punch: Velvet. This is a perfect DW bottle, so smooth! Very plummy, gentle finish, practically gulpable, I'm not kidding. The sexual chemistry between this wine and my tastebuds, frankly, is embarrassing. I don't even have any curse-words to add.
