Winery Review: 

-"
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:

-89+ pts
-I really liked this wine as well. On the nose, I got deep fruits with hints of earthiness and some alcohol. This wine had an incredible flavor profile--blackberries, cherries, licorice. It was a little hot on the finish, but otherwise a very well made wine. I tried this wine on its own without food.
