Catena Appellation La Consulta Malbec 2017

- 91 points -

Bright medium ruby. More medicinal and rocky on the nose than the Lunlunta Old Vines bottling, with its aromas of black fruits, licorice and spices accented by a sexy note of white peach. A step up in intensity and tightness of grain from the Lunlunta Malbec; in a more masculine style and in need of patience even if it already boasts excellent inner-mouth lift. Finishes classically dry and firmly tannic, with none of the leathery quality I found in the Lunlunta 2017. Classic Malbec at a gentle price.
