Of all the things i've learned about North Korea and its people from this post, a description of their wine tastes is the weirdest one. I can't say i've tasted a Chilean Tempranillo, but I can't imagine it being very good.
They are generally very good, south american grapes make the best heavy reds...just not this one.
I've mostly known Chile for their french grapes, but it checks out that a heavy spanish red would do well in some regions there. I'll be on the lookout for one next time the weather allows for me to drink a heavy red, i can't do it with this heat.
Yeah, Chilean Malbecs are my favourite wines, except for some Malbecs from a very particular part of Basque country where they don't have the slightly muddy flavour you often get from French Malbecs (which is why they're generally blended into a Bordeaux, but here in Aus we tend not to blend outside of a GSM.)
I count myself lucky because I live in a place that has a lot of autochtonous variety diversity, so I rarely drink any French grapes. That being said I've always been a fan of right bank Bordeaux, and those have malbec in healthy amounts, so I'm no stranger to it. Most of my experience with unblended Malbec comes from Argentinian ones though, and those can be hit-or-miss.
