The 2018 Gouleyant Malbec begins with an inviting blackberry and other ripe, dark fruit aromas along with a little licorice. It’s a bit funky when first popped open but it comes around nicely.

Tasting reveals that it is indeed true to its name – Le Gouleyant means easy to drink in French. It needs some time to open up in the glass but when it does you’ll find a soft and smooth wine that is a bit tannic and features plenty of dark fruit with just a little bit of earthiness underneath.

This simple and tasty wine ends dry and long.
