Catena Zapata Nicasia Vineyard Malbec 2022 Wine (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

Ripe black and red currants, raspberries, and an elegant touch of French oak. Very complex and expressive palate, with a creamy violet flavor and notes of ripe blueberries, cassis, vanilla, and spice cake. The 2022 Malbec Nicasia Vineyard was sourced from Paraje Altamira and aged for up to 21 months in oak barrels. Aromas of violets and lavender blend with cassis and intense blue fruit notes. Delicate yet juicy with a plush texture, it shows fine oak integration. It's precise in its fruit expression, finishing long with refined structure and a polished impression. The fresh, dry 2022 vintage lends additional nuance to this delicious wine. Compared to Catena Zapata's single-vineyard wines, Nicasia typically receives less attention, but this is a distinctive, captivating Malbec in and of itself. This is concentrated, with dense dark fruit. The nose shows blue fruit, tar and tapenade. The palate is juicy and medium- to full-bodied, with delineated concentration, dark fruit flavors and voluminous presence balanced by precise tannins.
