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.

Catena ,Malbec 2009, nice and well structured but overpriced
Catena Malbec 2004, By Bodega Catena Zapata, USD 17
A multivineyard selection by Laura Catena and labeled to a Puerto Rico importer.
A nice and attractive malbec no doubt. Tipiciy and fruits all in there with soft oaky notes mostly toasted and chocolate ones. An 89 point malbec to enjoy before 4 years old as I taste it.
Overpriced. I could tell a dozen malbecs right off the top of my mind which better far this malbec at 17 buck level. You won´t like this wine if you enjoy oak ; You might give a pebbles more if you praise a natural fruit driven malbec. I think it´s nice anyway.
