Country: Argentina / Selección de Bodega Single Vineyard
Variety: Malbec Mendoza Province
Winery: Doña Paula / Luján de Cuyo
Supposedly Doña Paula’s top selection for 2005, and while the wine shows some earthy darkness and plenty of fruit on the bouquet it doesn’t follow up with the mouthfeel or overall balance that it should. It’s ripe for sure, but also aggressive, with a disjointed acid-to-tannin ratio and an almost syrupy mouthfeel.
