Wine Critic Review - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 87 points
"The 2015 Maipe Malbec is another 100% Malbec, with a deep purple color and a style similar to the Lexicon, with chocolaty, blackcurrant and blackberry fruit, as well as touches of licorice and earth. It is delicious, soft and round."
My Review - This wine's scent immediately reminded me of the smell of yogurt for some reason. I thought it also smelled earthy, like dirt and greens on the forest floor. It also smelled like plums and deep, dark fruit. I thought it tasted very bitter and made my mouth dry. I definitely tasted a spicy plum and blackberry as well. It had a strange after taste and a very quick finish for a red this complex. I did not try this wine with food.
