Dark fruits and currant followed by a velevty texture with integrated, rich tannins and beautiful flavors including cassis and vanilla oak. Very inviting, unctuous wine - excited to see that this is still singing. Catena zapata is quite the power house.
p.s. homemade pozole with mexican street corn...heaven

A testament to the quality when the basic blended Malbec ages so well and exceeds all expectations. Punches way above it's modest release price -crazy quality here for the $

Opened two bottles with a group last night. Absolutely fantastic with grilled New York steaks and rigatoni. It is at its peak and I do not think it will get better. The flavors and mouth feel were delicious.

Fine, restrained nose with dark fruits predominant. Good deep colour and expressive nose when it opened. Lovely, typical Malbec with a great balance of rich, sweet fruit, spice, gentle acidity and tannin. Elegant, quite meaty, and long. Went very well with roast beef, tasted side by side with a much younger Vistalba Corte C 2013 which was a very drinkable, good wine but not quite in this league. A fine wine, as expected from Catena Zapata. Still plenty of life - no need to hurry......
