Bodega Catena Zapata
Angelica Zapata Alta Cabernet Franc
Sadly never comes to the States and last had an ‘04 when I was in Argentina in ‘11 so couldn’t wait to find a bottle on this trip. More gripping and darker in color than the blood-red ‘04. Great now and will continue to soften and evolve over many years to come. Glad to see it’s popularity Increasing since last time....albeit harder to find! ;)

Feb 9th, 2018Brought back from Argentina in 2011. Let it rest 7 years and just enjoyed it. Tough to find something to complain about. But that’s what I’d expect when it has that price tag

May 31st, 2015No olfato, predominam cerejas e framboesa, no paladar amora, ameixa, frutas vermelhas no geral, adocicado na medida certa, um verdadeiro néctar, bem encorpado mas ao mesmo tempo suave, acidez despercebida. Sensacional!

Mar 5th, 202217/20 (92/100) Развитой букет ароматов с нотами варенья из чёрной смородины, спелых ягод ежевики, чёрного чая и шоколада. Тельное с умеренной кислотностью и мягкими, бархатистыми танинами. Заметная спиртуозность во вкусе. Продолжительное послевкусие. Очень новосветское, паркеровский стиль.
