Catena Malbec Mendoza 2014

Purple color. Nose of black berries, ink, bitter chocolate, spices and oak, this is powerful and not so delicate! A little edgy and intense on the palate at first, this wine is quite tasty on the same flavors as caught on the nose. Would be better to wait a little before opening a bottle of this wine, or give it some air and pair it with a nice piece of red meat and it would do just fine! Clear ageing capacity for 10 years+. Very good (89) 

Made of 100%  Malbec from 4 vineyards located between 920 andet 1450m altitude. Aged 12 to 14 months in French oak barrels of one to three uses. Alcohol level of 13,5%

Available at the SAQ for 21,95$ (Code SAQ : 00478727)
