Tikal-Patriota-Bonarda-Malbec-Mendoza-Argentina-2008-$15.98-A nose of dark jammy fruit, dark black in color. A big full bodied blend, not for Old World fans. A delicious smooth wine, plum, black cherry, chocolate and spice with toasted oak, a great value. RP-92 WS-88 CR-90 Good with meats, chicken, pasta.
Altolandon-Red Blend-Manchuela-Spain-2005-$29.99-A nose of dark fruit and spice, dark amber in color. Black currants, blueberries, cola, chocolate, a full bodied smooth very long finish. A great bottle of wine, wish I had more, decant for a couple hours. WE-88 CR-92 Good with steak, chicken, pasta.
