2016 vintage . Château de Côts Cuvée Prestige, Côtes de Bourg. This is a Malbec-dominated blend (60%), with equal parts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Deep dark red colour ( the Malbec pleads guilty). The nose features black cherries and violets with a hint of roasted coffee beans. More power compared to the similarly-priced 2016 Haut-Medoc de Giscours tasted alongside, but maybe a little less charm at this stage. A serious tannic structure slightly obscuring the juicy fruit. This should be great with a few years of bottle ageing. Abv. 14,5% — 3 years ago

Surprise, surprise, I love surprises! Pick this up for only $11 @ my local wine outfit. Tasted very similar to a Chateau Puech Haut les prestige that I bought years ago but for half the price. If you find this buy it, especially if it's $11! — 7 years ago

The best Malbec I have had. Elegant earthy and filled with leather and intense but mellow tannins, this wine is extraordinary. The palette starts soft, and finishes with a powerful bang. A truly great wine. Should be consumed with steak. — 9 years ago

Catena Zapata Chardonnay White Stones 2021
Vignoble: Catena Zapata

Appellation: Mendoza, Argentine

Millésime: 2021

Cépage: Chardonnay

Prix: Élevé - Positionnement premium sur le marché
Apparence
Robe claire et brillante, reflets dorés.
Nez
Premier nez marqué par des notes d'agrumes dominées par le citron. Une touche animale fugace est perceptible à l'ouverture mais se dissipe rapidement avec l'aération. Évolution vers des arômes de jubube (confiserie de fruits) apportant une dimension plus douce et exotique.
Bouche
Attaque vive caractérisée par une acidité prononcée, typique des chardonnays d'altitude. Notes de citron bien présentes, cohérentes avec le nez. La texture est précise et ciselée. Finale longue et persistante, laissant une impression de fraîcheur minérale.
Accord
Dégusté en comparaison avec le White Bones de la même maison, offrant une perspective intéressante sur les différentes expressions du terroir Catena Zapata. Partagé avec Boul.
Évaluation
91/100 points
Un chardonnay de caractère qui exprime admirablement la minéralité et la fraîcheur des vignobles d'altitude de Mendoza. L'acidité remarquable lui confère un excellent potentiel de garde. Son prix élevé le positionne dans le segment haut de gamme, reflétant l'ambition et le prestige de la maison Catena Zapata. — a year ago

"a deep dark color with ruby reflects, The rose is offering hints of dark fruits, vanilla and grilled bread. The mouth is rich and complex and offers luscious tannins, lots of fruit purity and much elegance and complexity brought by the oak aging. — 3 years ago

Costco $6.99. This is definitely a buy. Tastes like mostly merlot. Dry, nice flavor, no off flavors and pretty well put together. You can’t do much better for 7 bucks. Rated a 9 based on the price. Cheers. — 9 years ago

2015 vintage. 49% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot. From the Cazes stable (Lynch Bages). Surprisingly light on its feet, especially compared to the Haut- Condissas Médoc 2015 tasted alongside. Floral and elegant, more like a Margaux than a Saint- Estèphe. Ready to drink. Abv. 13,5 %. — a year ago

Popped and poured; consumed over two days and the best was Day 2. The wine appears deep ruby with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity. Medium intensity on the nose with blue and black fruits, deli case, purple flowers, smoked meat, olive brine, black pepper and baking spice. On the pallet, the wine is dry with a mixed fruit set: ripe red, blue and black fruits in abundance with Herbes de Provence and baking spices. Long saline finish, medium+ tannin and acid. The Syrah plays a very strong role despite Grenache being the dominant variety in the blend. — 5 years ago

Starts out as a tannin bomb—that’s a compliment from this quarter—and mellows into pillowy savoriness. Superb. $13.99 — 8 years ago
