Tasting - Bota Box

Name: Bota Box Malbec
Variety: Malbec
Country: Argentina
Region: Mendoza
Year: 2013
Price: $23


Wine Review: Cherry cough-drop aromas are friendly enough. This feels hollow, with quick-hitting plum and cherry flavors. A touch of chocolate dust defines a simple finish. -84 points Wine Enthusiast

My review: Initially this wine blasted me in the face with a buttered toast aroma. But then this quickly faded into crushed blueberries. This was accompanied by a light mouthfeel and not overly strong tannins on the front and mid palette.  Things quickly diminished as any taste was difficult to discern and the finish left my mouth as dry as a desert.  This would probably be a wine to drink with dinner.  
 
I had this wine without food
