Catena Alta Malbec 2002

Mendoza, ArgentinaThe '02 Alta Malbec is 100 per cent malbec and it comes with all the suave and juicy fruit you would expect. No stone is left unturned here and with gobs of super ripe blackberry fruit streaked with vanilla and spice chocolate and cigar with a touch of orange, who could argue the point. Expect a full plush and powerful spicy red on the palate with a solid core of fruit. Manly malbec with fine complexity and a persistent finish.Tasted: 16 April 2006Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
