CATENA - Appellation Paraje Altamira Malbec - 2016

CATENA

Appellation Paraje Altamira Malbec 2016

Bright medium ruby. Very ripe but not roasted on the nose, offering complex aromas of blackberry, black raspberry, mocha, bitter chocolate, pepper and menthol. Wonderfully pliant and refined, showing subtle inner-mouth lift and harmonious acidity to its flavors of black and purple berries and minerals. Boasts a compellingly smooth texture for the year, along with lovely restrained sweetness. Finishes with suave tannins and superb slow-rising length. This very classy, delineated wine is a great example of how Malbec could shine in 2016 on well-drained high-altitude sites in the Uco Valley.
