This seems utterly tannin-free and finishes with exceptional persistence

The density is impressive as is the power but this is likely to dry out before the tannins resolve

Catena Zapata, Adrianna Malbec Size:12x750ml This seems utterly tannin-free andFull ruby red. Musky dark fruits and bitter chocolate on the brooding nose, with a strong kirsch note emerging with aeration. Powerful and deep but youthfully closed, with terrific grip to the flavors of cassis, dark chocolate and minerals. Quite closed and young today, but with its fine grained tannins and slowly building persistence this single vineyard malbec appears to be built for a positive evolution in bottle. Stephen Tanzer
