Along with the 2014 vintage, I also tasted the 2015 Nicolas Catena Zapata. The 2015 is higher in Cabernet Sauvignon, which represents 83% of the final blend, while Malbec comprises the remaining 17%. It feels quite ripe, with notes of cherries and an earthy touch. It`s juicy and soft, very approachable, even though it has the Cabernet`s textbook tannins. 93 points

(14.2% alcohol: made from vines in both Uco Valley and Lujan de Cuyo): Bright ruby-red. Pungent aromas of cassis, blackberry, herbs and grapefruit are pure and unadorned. Juicy and stylish in a European style, conveying an impression of delicacy and terrific penetration. This is sweeter and suppler than the 2015 Nicasia Vineyard Malbec but I`m not sure that it`s deeper. Finishes with a powerful spine, strong supporting acidity and terrific length. 94 points
