Doña Paula
Paula Mendoza Malbec
Dark ruby in color with medium intensity and a purplish rim.
Mild on the nose with blueberries, cherries, strawberries, oak, light vanilla, white pepper, smoke and metals.
Medium-bodied with medium acidity and nice legs.
Dry and bitter on the palate, with blackberries, blueberries, cherries, oak, green pepper, cloves and earth.
Medium finish with grainy tannins, black pepper and a bitter ending.
This is a simple Malbec yet drinkable now. Not bad at all, but nothing to write home about. Might need another year in the bottle, but I'm not sure it has enough acidity to carry it.
13.8% alcohol by volume.

A medium bodied Malbec- smooth in the mouth with a bit of acidity down the throat. Medium oak and tannins- pretty good for a bar wine.

Feb 1st, 2016Purple colour with light plum and cassis bouquet. Certainly quaffable and a pleasant enough taste if with a slightly sweet edge - slightly dilute Ribena comes to mind - but lacks depth and structure: where are the tannins?
