Naked Wine Review 156
Wine: Padrillos Malbec
Producer: Ernesto Catena Selections Winery
Vintage: 13'
Region: Argentina>Mendoza
Price: 11.00
Date tasted: 11/21/14
Place tasted: I was somewhere not being me, hanging out with you when you were Uri Geller. You kept bending spoons for wine in the local bars. Everywhere we went they had Padrillos Malbec. I quite liked it and so wrote my tasting notes on a bar napkin after 'glass zero' then found it crumpled up at the bottom of my purse the next day. This review is a result of that blurrily productive evening.
Served with: Coiled Children Playing with Eggs, trust me. As food friendly as a wine can be, she pairs well with hors d' oeuvres & cheeses of all kind, red meats, lamb, game, pork, and things of that nature (even gentle enough to serve with turkey :)
Appearance: She has elegant naked legs and svelte medium body draped in a gown of inky purple that dances around my glass, while sparkling ruby eyes wink and flirt. Very pretty.
On the snoot: Wildflower, pipe tobacco, and bramble patch combine in a breath of long lost memories; sad misplaced poets wandering in summertime meadows.
Taste: Current black and berry too, smooth and dry the more you chew; vintage leather and tobacco cast, soft gentle tannins with a finish juicy and fast.
(end rhyme mode) Sorry about that, it just happened.
Balance: She's well balanced and holds together nicely. Fruity and smooth if a little shy on tannin; enough acid and alcohol content to keep a lively spirit.
Comments: This is a good everyday drinking wine. Her food friendly qualities, beautiful appearance, and all around likable nature also make her an excellent contribution to holiday gatherings.
