Lucky Duck NV Malbec Argentina

Plum Kool-Aid.

With a shot of cheap vodka.

Yes, that's the exact taste of this “wine.” A very nice fruity, silky, plum flavor. But is a wine suppose to taste like Kool-Aid? Even if it has an alcohol kick?

No.

Unless you're in the Arbor Mist crowd, this... Sucks.

Well, it doesn't suck, it's just not wine. Or even close. And it turns your tongue black.

Okay, I'll give a shot at trying to doing a “review” on this...

And a trademark Silenus quote, because we don't want to disappoint the fan:

Tis sweet and tasty, use on the most pliable of tarts. Your quest for cheap and tawdry will be complete within the guzzling of lots of bottles. Because cheap tarts do require lots of plying now don't they?

- Me

Drink Up!

Utter rubbish. No body, tanic, you can aerate it but it doesn't help. A waste of money, good only for cooking.
