2018 Bodega Catena Zapata Cabernet Sauvignon Catena Alta Historic RowsMendoza more |
10/28/2023 - JonathanFlavell Likes this wine: NRDeep ruby, nose of blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, spice, vanilla & leather. Full body, strong acidity, med(+) ripe tannins. To taste loads of blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, baking spice, cedar, vanilla & leather. Long finish. Nice balance, very rich but acidity gives freshness and the oak is well integrated. Outstanding. More to come with some time but drinking well. |

2/14/2010 - JonathanFlavell wrote: 85 pointsVery handsome wine in bottle, glass and smell. Big and bold with very evident fruits. Hard to describe in some ways. Taste perhaps didn't quite live up to this but after a couple of mouthfuls it opened up into a very pleasing and interesting wine. Would certainly have again and may be worth keeping. |

8/14/2010 - JonathanFlavell wrote: 89 pointsFirst magnum experience - good nose with presence and fruit. Dark colour which again had presence but wasn't heavy. Fruity and full in the mouth with a reasonably long finish. Kept interest and kept me coming back to the glass... |

8/28/2010 - JonathanFlavell wrote: 89 pointsDeep red colour with very clear smell of jelly before it has been melted down. Sounds a bit over the top but it was very obvious! Nice in the mouth with the jelly theme continuing. Initial taste was almost like a fruit drink rather than wine. However there was a certain acidity and burn to follow. Not at all what I expected from a pinot noir, but was thoroughly enjoyable. |

2018 Leeuwin Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Art SeriesMargaret River more |
11/12/2022 - JonathanFlavell Likes this wine: NRDeep ruby with lots of blackcurrant, plum, prune, vanilla & cedar aromas. Weighty in the mouth with good acidity and grippy fleshy tannins. To taste more blackcurrant, prune, vanilla, plum & chocolate. Long finish & quite fresh. Solid flavour intensity. Clearly very young but enjoyably approachable. Many years ahead and would imagine positive development in terms of complexity. |

12/29/2009 - JonathanFlavell wrote: 82 pointsDark and full looking when first poured but opened out after one or two so-so mouthfuls. Fruity and powerful but not too overbearing. May not be to everyone's taste, but pleasing to me. Good value too, but feel it should be kept a while longer and will improve. |

3/19/2022 - JonathanFlavell Likes this wine: NRFairly deep ruby, lots of leather, earth and stewed fruit (prune & redcurrant) on nose. Smokey too. Plenty of body and enough acidity. Tannins fine and fairly silky. Little more fruit on palate with raspberry, redcurrant, dried fruit, leather, cedar & earth. Bit meaty too. Long. Excellent balance & structure, very tertiary now. Enjoyed a lot, but needs drinking up soon in my view. |

1/4/2022 - JonathanFlavell Likes this wine: NRRuby with touch of garnet edges. Leather, wood, blackcurrant, raspberry, redcurrant & earth. Unfurled further with some more stewed red fruit and a touch gamey. Fair bit of body, strong acidity and fine (but plenty) tannins. Amazing treat from an impulse buy earlier in the year. Lots of fruit still under the tertiary flavours and plenty of structure suggest plenty of life still there. |
