Nicolás Catena Zapata 2021

- 96 points -

Nicolás is a finely crafted blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Malbec and 10% Cabernet Franc from Fernando Buscema, showcasing the contrasting terroirs of Gualtallary and Paraje Altamira. Appealingly international in style, it has lovely cigar box and coffee bean oak, layers of mint, violet and tarragon, granular, fine-boned tannins and harmonious chocolate, blackberry and blackcurrant leaf flavours.
