Eniang
Full bodied and full-bodied wine with a predominantly fruit-forward character, featuring tones of blue and black fruit. The tannins are silky and smooth, with a mild secondary component. as it may not be to everyone's taste, it's a solid, dependable top pick for those chasing a full-bodied wine. The bottle is a nice little package, if you will.
Shaughn Maaseide
Voluptuous and full-bodied Malbec from Argentina, exhibiting the iconic Bonarda grape in a elegant union with complex red-purple color. The wine's robust flavor profile is recognized by a licorice-like attack, supported by a robust berry flavor and a full-bodied texture. The tannins are well-balanced, with gentle layers of spice, in contrast the close is dry and satisfying.
Nisi
Rich, smooth touch with a deep, intense appearance that gradually deepens to a deep plum color. The nose is dominated by a sweet, fruity bouquet with whispers of bold fruit and spices, at the same time the profile is noted for by a smooth, rounded mouthfeel that gives way to a fruit-forward profile with suggestions of plum, cherry, and understated tobacco and vanilla undertones.

The Tikal Patriota Malbec-Bonarda blend is praised for its velvety texture, full-bodied richness, and balanced fusion of dark fruit flavors like blackberry and plum with oak and spice notes. While many appreciate its smooth tannins and value for money, some find it overly light or lacking complexity. Reviews highlight its versatility with food pairings, particularly grilled meats, though opinions vary on its intensity.
