I’m pleasantly surprised that this Malbec is more French-like over the typical Catena offering from Argentina. Showed significant oak early, but mellows dramatically in just a few minutes in the glass. Doesn’t show the chalk common to the variety. Solid QRP at $33.

Faint fruit on nose. Blackberries and blackcurrants on palate - a touch of acidity. A nice wine but can get equally as good Argentinian Malbecs for somewhat less.

Vanilla and dark berries on the nose. Blackberry, currant and some blueberry on the palate. Lingering finish. Great balance and structure.
