I am easy prey for a good yarn and beautiful photography,
especially when it comes to the vineyards of Argentina. I’ve never had the
opportunity to visit but really wish to do so at some point before another
pandemic arrives, or climate change destroys everything we hold dear. This is another
Bodega Catena Zapata selection and much like some of the higher end bottles,
this is a beauty. I guess we can do this SV style again since it seemed to work
out before. Nose: dark fruit and a bit of minerality, some oak but not much to
make an impact. Palate: Cracking. Black currant, some plum (surprise) and black
pepper giving it a bit of heat. Finish: long, fully of blackberry jam. Really
concentrated. Comments: Very nice and performs as expected from one of the top
Malbec exports. A nice Malbec introduction
