Catena Zapata, Angelica Zapata Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina 2018

You know you're in safe hands with the Catena team, and this is from the high-end part of the range, so expect lovely purity of Malbec fruit in the form of soft plums and blueberries, a fleshy texture and fine tannins, and a succulent finish. It's ripe but there's elegance here, both concentration and restraint creating lots of drama.
