Doña Paula Estate Malbec 2018

Gualtallary, Tupungato, Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaFrom Finca Alluvia in Gualtallary (Tupungato, Uco Valley) and Finca Los Indios in Altamira (San Carlos, Uco Valley this shows abundant ripeness with dense, dark berry fruits that are framed by a gravel minerality and smoky, toasty oak after ageing in French barriques for 10 months. It has no shortage of extraction: it’s bold and full-bodied, but the tannin quality suffers as a result, with a harsh, gritty character. The components are all here, but it could use a touch more finesse.Tasted: 19 June 2020Tasted by: Prices:
