2003 Catena Cabernet Malbec
Tasting Notes

Fact Sheet

Of a deep red colour with light violet hues, the nose is focused with concentrated spice Cabernet flavors that are typical of La Piramide vineyard and ripe blueberry Malbec notes from Angelica located in Lunlunta. Barrel aging adds subtle notes of vainilla, tabaco and liqueur, making this wine particularly complex and elegant.

Starts sweet and fruity followed by complex spice and oak and a long lingering finish of round, soft tannins. A perfect match with beef, game and  sophisticated dishes.
