Catena Malbec Mountain Vines 2014
Mendoza, ArgentinaSoft and fleshy perfumed blackcurrant flows throughout this full wine, freshened by four mountain foothill vineyards. Plush violets, cassis and plum rest on a velvet cushion supported by a solid wood frame. Bitter dark cocoa hangs on the finish. Extraction is potent, but the ripe fruit can pretty much take it on. Not fully knit at this stage, but nothing that a decant, grilled lamb or another year or two in bottle wouldn't sort.Tasted: 25 July 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $22.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
