2021 Ultimate Spirits Challenge

Leonce Rouge Malbec Vermouth (Argentina), 18% abv, $25.00, 750 ml

85
Very Good,
Strong Recommendation

Tasting Note:

By all appearances, this is an inky red wine, but within a single sniff, that grapey malbec top-note succumbs to an earthy melange of oily spice, ginger, and citrus, with supporting bitterness coming from cinchona and gentian which make their presence known on the finish.
