【Catena Zapata's Nicolas Catena Zapata is a profound and intellectually driven Argentine blend that unites structure, depth, and high-altitude precision with striking coherence, often considered a benchmark of Argentine fine wine.】 The 2019 vintage, a cool and very good year, follows the path of the 2019, showcasing the classical herbal and spicy character of Bordeaux varieties. Expect a deep ruby hue with violet edges. Aromas unfold with layers of cassis, blackcurrant, dark plum, violet, graphite, cedar, tobacco leaf, and mineral clarity. The palate is full-bodied yet refined, with dark fruit intensity, vibrant acidity, and velvety, chalky tannins, leading to a long, elegant finish.
