Catena Zapata Argentinian Malbec, World Cup Final Wine!

Purchased 2012 for £60 per bottle and kept in conditioned cellar ever since. Not to be confused with standard Catena Malbec. Will be packaged in bubble wrap and sent tracked and insured. Deal possible for all 6. WINE DESCRIPTION Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino is made from a meticulous vine selection in the best lots of the Catena family’s estate vineyards. These Zapata vines are carefully hand tended and produce extremely low yields. The grapes are micro-fermented in new French oak barriques and the wine is then aged for 24 months in new French oak. This wine is made in very limited quantities. TASTING NOTES The Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino 2006 shows a saturated dark violet color; the nose offers cassis, mocha and clove, along with a strong suggestion of soil tones. It combines density and sweetness on the one hand, with gripping flavors of tobacco, dark berries, spices and minerals; a palate-staining finish dominated by sweet black and blue fruits.
