2015 Bodega Catena Zapata "La Consulta Nicasia" Malbec Review
The Argentinians can make some great wine but they are incapable of having a wine with less than 34 names on the label. Pretty sure the name of this wine is every single family member the owner could think of.
I had this wine at a Bad Wine Reviews loyalist recently because we all enjoy the drank a little too much and they are overly generous. This is a very high end wine that I haven't had the luxury of trying but have indeed heard of it. I heard a rumor this is what Beyonce gives to her kids.
In da nose I got calm cheese, gravel and blackberry jam. Now please do not mistake cheese for a bad thing. I think some wines that have cheese qualities are quite good - this is just one of them that has that scent. In da mouf I got smoked meat like crazy. This was like eating at a southeastern BBQ place and having your options be pulled pork or extra pulled pork. Oh I also got pepper and plum but who cares?
This is a very nice wine but the price tag is a little high. I very much enjoyed it but don't know it has that WOW factor to make me drop that kind of coin. That being said if you want to drink this wine you will not be disappointed and you may even get lucky.
