Lovely nose with peppers and chocolate. Tinto w/ cab and malbec. Integrated tannins. Full, deep red wine, centered structure, still has a few years to go. Wonderful with grilled chicken.

Afraid of witnessing another over-the-hill wine, as I was recently disappointed by a slightly corked 2002 Cheval Des Andes, Luca's Beso pleasantly surprised. This big, sweet Zapata Cab is drinking beautifully. Would have bought more had I known about its aging potential.

Still a very powerful wine. Great vegetal notes on the nose with a slightly leathery aroma. Tannins still present but smoothed over quite nice. Wine is very balanced at this point. This wine is aging exactly how a good new world wine should!
