Paradigma 2008 from Domaine St Diego, good blend and super if oaked


Paradigma 2008, Domaine St Diego, USD 17

An unoaked Malbec based blend with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon from Lunlunta district in Maipu Dpt of Central Mendoza.A signature wine by Angel Mendoza winemaker (former Trapiche chief winemaker). Thin and delicate with spicy fruits mostly boysenberries and red cherries. A little bit of minerality to add complexity.
Not very attractive although balanced and somehow complex. Not doubt it could be a superwine if oaked. For this I´d say it reaches 89 points instead of 91. Good value too. It may age nicely in 4-6 years within its delicate ,soft and thin structure.
