Angélica Zapata Alta, Cabenet Sauvignon 2005, 23 USD (sale outside Argentina as Catena Alta) Good tipicity with clear red bell pepper and sweet marmalade. Hardly any oak stuff. Fine and attractive with good middle and late palate but weak early palate. I´d say 87-88 points. Day after opened no change (like some others that show quite amazing improve). I expected much more out of this brandname and previous vintages were much better.
Tasting notes of a local wine lover without elegant literacy or web design. Just plain wine talk. By the same token I analyze the opened bottle with my senses, just at the very end I re-check the producer (I first checked it when bought it for sure!),vintage,terroir,and price. These data allow me to reconstruct the wine and trace a botton line.
