93 Stephen Tanzer - Vinous Media

Saturated deep ruby. Super ripe aromas of blackberry and minerals. Wonderfully rich and deep, showing terrific verve to its dark berry and chocolate flavors. A step up in sweetness and sappiness from the regular Catena Malbec. Finishes chewy, broad and very long, with serious but fine tannins, a lingering note of licorice and great verve.

This shows a silky and beautiful wine with plum, spice, salt and sliced meat. Full body, with wonderful fruit and spicy, meat and berry character. A little jammy but I like it a lot. Drink or hold.

Meaty, minty scents accent core cassis, jammy blackberry and oaky aromas. In the mouth, this benchmark Argentinean Malbec is tight and structured, with no flab or excess weight. An exotic mix of blueberry, cassis and Middle East spices finish long, with oak-driven lemony snap. Drink through 2020.

90 Wine Spectator

Fresh and engaging, with refined flavors of red plum, currant and spiced cherry, which are awash with sandalwood and hickory smoke notes. Shows good snap on the finish of milk chocolate and cream. Drink now through 2018. 3,500 cases imported. –KM
