DV Catena Malbec Nicasia 2005 has a deep red colour with violet hues.
The nose offers ripe plum and red berry flavors characteristic of the Nicasia Vineyard.
Oak aging adds complex and elegant notes of liqueur, tobacco and vanilla.
On the palate, a sweet, enticing entry leads to a complex, ample wine of soft, round tannins. Finishes long and lingering.
This wine is ideal with game, such as deer and wild boar.
