February 14, 2023 - Blindsmaking. Eik og dunderfrukt på nesen. Fast eik på smak også, tydelig toast. Frukt som følger opp, bjørnebær, sødmefull. Lang ettersmak med parfymert sødme.

January 20, 2023 - At 12 years it is plush, softened tannins with blackberry, tobacco, sweet oak. This bottle seems a little tired and not as vibrant as other's I've had.

July 3, 2021 - Catena Zapata Malbec Nicasia Vineyard La Consulta 2011 14% alc.
P&P bei knapp 15°
Der Wein ist jetzt, zehnjährig, auf dem Höhepunkt, auf dem er sich wohl noch mindestens 5 Jahre halten wird
Tief dunkelviolette Farbe
Nase: wunderbar schwarzfruchtig: Brombeeren, schwarze Kirschen, außerdem exotische Hölzer
Gaumen: extrem vielschichtig, auch wieder schwarze Beeren, besonders Brombeeren, dann schwarze Kirsche, Gewürze wie Anis étoilé, wieder ganz fein exotische Hölzer, dann auch Partagas, bester schwarzer Kaffee, sehr dunkle und kaum süße Schokolade, verbunden mit feiner Zeder. All das trägt in einen sehr langen Abgang, der minutenlang nachhallt.
Nicht der geringste Alkoholüberhang ist spürbar.
Ein grandioser Wein und der mit Abstand beste Malbec, den ich je im Glas hatte.

April 17, 2021 - Wonderfully complex and charming!
Arômes : fruits bleus et noirs - bleuet, mûre, cerise noire...épices - fines herbes grillées...nouveau chêne, nouveau cuir, ainsi que des notes florales...violette? Un vin rond et ample aux tannins fins. Saveurs de liqueur aux bleuets, ainsi que des notes de café et de chocolat noir. Complexe et multi-étagé, même crémeux...équilibre parfait ! Très long. Prêt à boire et d'ici 3-5 ans.
