Catena Alta Malbec 1996

MaipĂș, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaVery dark cherry purple color. Earthy, citrus peel, mushroom, pepper, spice mint tobacco and plum jam. Great Malbec and no vegetal aromas. Rich and concentrated, supple but moderate tannins. Toasty coffee, vanilla, minty, peppery, plum, orange and spice flavours. This has more fruit, concentration, complexity and tannin than the Catena wine. Keep this 2-5 years.Tasted: 01 March 1999Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
