Catena Zapata, Adrianna Malbec Size:12x750ml (from 20 to 25 year

(from 20 to 25 year old vines)

I tried a second bottle a couple of weeks later and it was as good or even better

There is excellent volume and an intense minerality present on the broad-shouldered and extract-rich flavors that display a dusty mouth feel on the impressively long and deep finish

Spanish cedar and cinnamon

Catena Zapata, Adrianna Malbec Size:12x750ml (from 20 to 25 yearFull ruby red. Musky dark fruits and bitter chocolate on the brooding nose, with a strong kirsch note emerging with aeration. Powerful and deep but youthfully closed, with terrific grip to the flavors of cassis, dark chocolate and minerals. Quite closed and young today, but with its fine grained tannins and slowly building persistence this single vineyard malbec appears to be built for a positive evolution in bottle. Stephen Tanzer
