La Consulta Malbec

Deep Ruby color, purple hues, aromas of red and black fruits with spice, aged for 8 months on oak. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry with vanilla, cacao and pepper spice. Fine tannins, medium+ length ending with fruit and mineral spice. Nice!

Deep Ruby color, purple hues, aromas of red and black fruits with strong spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry and plum with pepper spice. Fine chewy tannins, medium+ length ending with fruit and spice. Nice!

Deep ruby color. Pronounced aromas of violets and lilies, fresh black fruit (blueberries, blackberries and black cherries) and hints of vainilla and cedar. On the palate it is juicy and fresh with medium acidity, medium(+) fine grained ripe tannin and medium(+) body. The finish is medium(+) and slightly sweet of ripe delicious fruit. The taster for Robert Parker only gave it 90+ but I believe that he is diverging further and further away from what the wine collector and wine consumer really enjoy and is scoring very subjectively based on his own personal preference for Burgundy and Jura wines. In the context of new world wines and Argentina and Malbec, I find this wine fresh and perfectly ripe and with a controlled oak presence and a very solid effort to transmit the terroir of the La Consulta sub-region. #catena #catenazapata #argentina #malbec #mountainwine

This is better - but it is a Malbec so should be in line with my taste actually thirst for bigger and bolder wine - starting to smile - needs more air
