Catena Zapata Malbec Nicasia Vineyard 2008

San Carlos, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaPeppery, liquorice, smoky, floral, boysenberry, black cherry, barnyard and vanilla aromas. Dry, full, elegant and juicy with some tight tannin on the palate. Black pepper, licorice, coffee, tobacco, floral, chocolate, roasted herb, orange and black cherry flavours. Good finesse and fruit but needs 4-5 years to soften the somewhat chewy tannins on the finish. Mostly Altimira district fruit.Tasted: 15 February 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
