2021 Bodega Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino
Community Tasting Note
DesMarteau Likes this wine:
Saturday, January 13, 2024 - Hard to rate ….way too young to open …just did it to try and gauge the quality. Very think…black ink color . After 2 hours in the glass it shows a little . Cherry, tart strawberry, blueberry, bleach, tar, long finish and soft tannins. Will buy more and age at least 10. Mid nineties points seem justified…just way too young to drink.

I’m glad to hear Argentino won’t kill me lol but had to find out the story behind that tasting note. That’s really interesting you find that flavor in young Bordeaux style wines I wonder what makes you perceive it that way!? I mean in a blind tasting for Bordeaux probably a blessing for an easy tell of young wine lol
