Catena Alta Malbec 2004 Mendoza-Bodegas Catena Zapata

REVIEWS
RP 94 WS 93
94 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2004 Alta Malbec was aged for 18 months in French oak, 70% new, and was also bottled unfined and unfiltered. It offers greater aromatic complexity with notes of pepper, clove, leather, and chocolate in addition to violets, black cherry, and blackberry. Medium-bodied and elegant, it has a plush texture, layers of spicy black fruits and minerality, excellent balance, and a 60-second finish. It will evolve for 5-7 years and drink well through 2025." (Dec. 2007) 93 points Wine Spectator: "Dark and lush, with a gorgeous mouthfeel to the exotic fig, boysenberry and blueberry fruit flavors backed by intense spice, mocha, loam and licorice notes. Superlong, showing great drive and purity on the finish. Drink now through 2010. 2,500 cases imported." (9/04/07) Bodegas Catena Zapata may be the best known Argentine winery in the US and rightfully so considering the quality that consistently comes in their bottles of wine. The boisterous Malbec heft is well balanced here and tamed by some lip-smacking acid and slightly chewy tannin. Exuding class this wine is full of peppered beef, ripe blueberry cream, and crushed anise seed. This big--really big--wine is easily ready to spend the next few years slumbering away in a cold, dark place, but is fun to drink now as well. Preferably with a big 'ol hunk of bloody Argentine beef.(Bryan Brick, K&L)


WINE DESCRIPTION
The 2004 Catena Alta Malbec shows a deep, saturated violet color with a blackish hue. The nose presents a wide array of dark berry fruits with notes of delicate violets flowers as well as sweet clove spices, a touch of cedar and leather. The mouthfeel is full and unctuous, with excellent weight and supple texture. The mid palate offers rich cassis and black currant fruit flavors interwoven with hints of chocolate, vanilla and black pepper. The lengthy finish shows wonderful minerality, with finely grained tannins and lively acidity.
