Sipping Fine Wine

9.4

Sourced from a vineyard at 1,100 metres in Paraje Altamira, deep Ruby with aromas of black fruits, herb, leather and spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberries with citrus, leather and spice, fine tannins, well balanced long finish ending with an earthy mineral and tobacco spice character. Nice! — 12 days ago

The 2020 Nicolás Catena Zapata is a blend composed of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Malbec and 20% Cabernet Franc sourced from Paraje Altamira in the Uco Valley. It was carefully aged for up to 16 months in French oak barrels. Garnet in hue. The nose reveals captivating cassis, rose, blackberry, plum and fig aromas harmoniously combined with dried flowers. The palate presents a dry and ample profile, with fine-grained tannins and a juicy flow that leads to a vibrant mouthfeel, brimming with energy. This meticulously crafted red achieves precise balance in a warm vintage. (Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous, September 2023)

Deep purple in color with a short purplish rim.

Full-bodied with medium acidity.

Dry and very fruity on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing blackberries, blueberries, black plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, licorice, herbs, light vegetables and peppercorn.

Medium finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 6-year-old Malbec from Mendoza is still young, and a little harsh. I had it before and this time I let it open for a whole day.

Tangy and rich. Very extracted and a little unbalanced.

This is a young and elegant Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina.

This Single Vineyard is showing nice complexity already, with big tannins on the finish.

Aged in concrete vats with 30% used oak barrels.

Would be nice to revisit it in 7 years.
