Angelica Zapata Alta, Cab Sau 2005 the short

Compare tasted in a tasting group of bottles back in February 20th, 2010 a much better performance for my palate.


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.
