Catena Zapata Winemaker Dinner (Betony): From the winery. Drank alongside the 2003. Less ripe and more bordeaux-like and complex, with the black fruit showing a touch of pyrazine (which I don't mind) as well as a fair amount of cedar and a touch of cigar. This is really nice wine, with far better structure and acidity than the few other Argentine reds I've had. A little lighter and more elegant than the 2003, but IMO much more mature. I preferred it on this occasion to the 03 but would bet on the 03 for the long haul.

Ruby. Aromas de cerejas, tabaco, café. Na boca sedoso, cremoso, com boa fruta, taninos macios e acidez na medida. Frutos vermelhos, tostado e leve resinoso. Final longo.Excepcional.
