  Cork broke in two, but the wine is delicious! This is round and enveloping with bright red and black fruits and still fresh! Zingy acidity and sweet fruit make it a perfect pair with Chori-pan! 91

  shared with pat at selkirk manor. celebrating the end of the work week and surviving another week of pandemic. i continue to prune the cellar of bottles with past due drink by dates. no formal notes. the wine was still sound but fully mature and perhaps a bit on a downward slope compared with my last tasting note of 10/7/2015. we have had other catena wines that showed more complexity. i am wondering whether 2007 was an off vintage in argentina.

  This was a really pleasant surprise. Lovely nose of black currant, mocha and violets. The palate is nicely balanced with the youthful exuberance gone. Delicious flavors of black fruits, chocholate, tobacco come through in a very sleek, modern albeit simple style. I would drink this soon though because I don’t think it will get better from here.
  
  Stored in the fridge for three days and then pulled this out again. It’s even better with full in the mouth delicious flavor but maintaining the balance described above. I guess given it stored well for a few days this wine probably can last several more years although I am not sure it will develop further complexity
