MDZ Malbec 2017 Mendoza, Argentina

2018-10-26 MDZ Malbec 2017.jpg

Another of the 6/$60 wines.

Jammy.

Milky.

Flabby.

Pruney.

The wine is fine.

It’s just not my cup of tea.

There may be a detectable
“herbal character” to help
break the monotony.

At least the wine weighs in
at a scant 13% ALC.

The wine went well enough
with the pork Bolognese leftovers
which I heavily “augmented”.

Yesterday, I made my triannual trip
to Lukas in Overland Park and one of
the wines recommended (and purchased)
was A FREAKING MALBEC.

It was fermented in “concrete eggs”,
so I had to buy it.

I’ve only had TWO Malbecs over the past
TWO years and neither one spent time
in concrete.

Getting back to this wine, as I reach my
half bottle limit for the day, I’m picking
up a distinct “tartness”.

Tomorrow will be interesting.

Day Two…

Tomorrow (today) IS BETTER.

My “palate” is zeroed in and now
I can just enjoy the wine without
ALL THAT TRAUMA.

Lightness.

Beautiful dancing red fruit.

Great background choreography.

Left handed violin players.

Autistic savant economics professors.

Ooops. My leash broke.

Hang in there.
