  Deep colour, good legs, restrained nose at first but almost perfumed fruit developed as it opened. Excellent rich, sweet, complex fruit on the palate; mulberry, chocolate, touch of 'tar' (nice). Plums and damsons added later. Very good balance with fresh acidity still. Very long.
  I must have bought this 2 or 3 years ago and am glad I didn't drink it right away. Catena Zapata quality at Tesco prices - a bargain!
  Sweeter and softer next day. Good - still has life.....

  The nose is clean and developing, showing medium intensity aromas of plums, cherries, cedar and black pepper. The wine is dry in the mouth with a medium- acidity. It has a high coarse tannins and high alcohol. It has a full body and medium+ intensity flavours of plums, cherries, cedar and white pepper. The finish is medium+
