Still alive with pretty blue, black, and red fruit. Dominated by umami with strong notes of mushroom, soy sauce, and dried seaweed. The nose and palate were very subtle. This lacked the power and structure to live much longer. #malbec #argentina #catenazapata #francismallmann #elgarzon — 8 years ago

A big and very contracted wine that is full of rich and ripe black and blue fruits with round tannins. This must be mostly #malbec but unfortunately the #cepage is not revealed. Best to drink with just a few years of age and a giant Uruguayan ribeye from #francismallmann #elgarzon #bodegasvistalba #argentina — 8 years ago
