Catena
Mendoza
Dark purple in the glass.
Juicy, spicy, black fruit on the nose.
Medium weight, quite tangy, smoky, fairly juicy, black cherry, blackberry, drying, a fairly lean structure, with a light charred bite.
With time, the wine softened and filled out a bit.
Tangy, mouthwatering, light drying tannins on the finish.
Not bad now, but I think this would benefit from some short-term aging.
Purchased at $13.95 (Canadian).
