2004 Bodega Catena Zapata - Catena Alta Malbec

Written By: Michael Zimberg on Monday, November 3, 2008

I hadn't ever had an Argentinian malbec of this caliber. Deep, dark and lush, and brimming with lovely dark plums, ripe blackberries and oak. The palate is long and smooth, with rich tannins. Even though it has such density, there's a graceful charming feminine warmth. Given the sheer weight, it will improve in the cellar for 5-10 years. This was a gift, thanks Paul! I am going to shop for at least 1 case for my cellar. Retail $40.
