| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CATENA |
| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Slightly spicy, ripe plum-cherry puree nose with some very faintly oaky, cedary notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, fresh plum and ripe black and red cherry puree flavours with a youthful, lingering, slightly cedary finish. Better than the 2010 (**+) released on September 28, 2013 at $49.95. |

| TASTING NOTE: Mocha-espresso aromas on the nose with fleshy ripe blackberry and plum flavours on the palate. Full-bodied and smooth. The grapes for this wine [are] from four different vineyards, picked at four different times. Lovely, long espresso-anise finish. Truly one of Argentina's flagship wineries. Try it with a hearty meat dish. Pair with: lamb cutlets, beef tenderloin, cheddar cheese, herb-rubbed roast chicken. Drink: 2013-2018.
