Get ready to be charmed. This friendly malbec combines the grape’s natural floral and plummy-raspberry fruitiness with vanilla, mocha and gentle smokiness from the barrels. This Pascual Toso is smooth and packed with flavour and fine tannin—perhaps even a touch sweet for Euro-trained palates. Very good length. Now to 2011. LCBO 35170
