Tasting -"Weinert Carrascal 2008"

Name: Weinert Carrascal
Variety: 40% Malbec, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot
Region: Unknown
Country: Argentina
Year: 2008
Price: $13.95

Review: "Aged for two years in a cask, the 2008 Carrascal is a blend of 40% Malbec, 35% Cabarnet Sauvignon and 24% Merlot. It has a rustic blackberry, scorched earth and leather scente 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 had a peppery nose, with elements of leather and mulch as well. It tasted like dirty vegetables, blackberries, grapes and was tarty. I would like to try this wine again with food. 

I tasted this wine on its own without food.
