Zapata Malbec Argentino 2004
- 95 points -
This is still demure and deep despite the fruit ripeness. Cedary wood with savory plums, berries, dry earth and truffles. Still pretty full-bodied with rich, savory fruit and aged complexity. Lots of tannins here but they have started to mellow. It lingers well. This is still developing, but it is arguably getting close to its peak. Lots of complexity here. Drink or hold. Plenty of life still ahead of it.
