DV Catena Malbec & Malbec, lets see





DV Catena, Malbec & Malbec 2006, By Bodega Catena Zapata, USD 23.

Very good Malbec from Lunlunta district (Maipu Dpt) and Agrelo district (Lujan de Cuyo Dpt) in Mendoza.Classical red and plum ripe fruits from a classical malbec from `Primera Zona´ of Mendoza. Some mild complexity enjoyable but not amazing. Good balance but an acidity like unripe plum burnt by the sun a bit uneasy. Good maturation and it may be interesting to see evolve in 2-4 years more. I´ll say 89 points malbec with just a barely acceptable value to price.
