Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Fortuna Terrae Malbec

Koncentreret og yderst flot vin- vil gå så langt som at kalde den næsten perfekt. Sorte bær, violer, lakrids, sort peber, Mineralsk i smagen. Lang afslutning.

Cropped from a cooler and wetter year, the 2016 Adrianna Vineyard Fortuna Terrae was bottled with six months less time in oak than in other years. The wines are somehow "lighter" and more mineral, and they didn't want the oak to mark them. This comes from deeper soils that deliver more fruit, and of the three reds from Adrianna, this is always the one that shows more gentle, approachable and open, with more fruit up front. There are some notes of tobacco and spices. Considering how young the wine is and the fact that it will not be released for another year, the wine is going to be immediately appealing on release but should also develop nicely in bottle. The 2016 is the most complete of the three vintages I tasted together-2014, 2015 and 2016. They bottled some 5,000 bottles in March 2018. 2020 - 2030
