Magnum Nicolas Catena Zapata 2015

Der Argentino Malbec von Catena Zapata ein hervorragender, rebsortenreiner und ausgezeichneter Rotwein aus dem argentinischen Weinanbaugebiet Mendoza.

Rubinrot im Glas, in der Nase Aromen von dunkle Beeren, Cassis und einer leichten Grapefruit Note. Die Tannine am Gaumen sowie der wunderschöne lange Abgang machen diesen Wein zu einem wahren Genuss.

James Suckling 96/100:
A giant. Not only in Argentina’s strong suit in terms of power, it also shows finesse and aromatic complexity. There are all manner of blackberries, smoke, chocolate and spicy notes. Built on a panoramic scale, but full of energy and enormous refinement. The finish cascades on and on. A blend of 83% cabernet sauvignon and 17% malbec. 96/100

Galloni 94/100
Bright ruby-red. Pungent aromas of cassis, blackberry, herbs and grapefruit are pure and unadorned. Juicy and stylish in a European style, conveying an impression of delicacy and terrific penetration. This is sweeter and suppler than the 2015 Nicasia Vineyard Malbec but I'm not sure that it's deeper. Finishes with a powerful spine, strong supporting acidity and terrific length.
