Clean, ripe, spicy and floral, somewhat closed and tightly wound at the moment, though the palate fairly explodes...

Big, fruity, smokey malbec. Lots of concentration, plenty of smooth, ripe tannin, not too hot, very good balance. Long finish. Nice now but will cellar for years.

Sure this one is expensive but this it's also the very best of the Malbec variety - full stop. Catena Alta requires 2 years in the cellar to soften, after which it becomes approachable. Expect notes of mocha, dark chocolate and black fruit; the wine will become rich and complex. So if you can't shake the 'Kool-Aid' (Fuzion) at least buy two bottles of this one, but don't drink them yet. Instead, tuck the bottles away and forget about them for a while. When the time comes around, invite me over for dinner and I promise that I won't say 'I told you so'...

A big Malbec. Nice smoke and balance. A finish that dances on your palette long afterwards.
