Catena Appellation Malbec La Consulta 2023

92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Originating from vines planted in 1996 in alluvial sandy clay soils, the 2023 Appellation La Consulta Malbec offers a savory, supple expression of Uco Valley Malbec. Black-fruited, spice-driven and elegantly creamy aromas introduce a svelte, polished palate that concludes with a saturated, fine-grained finish.

92 Vinous The 2023 Malbec Appellation La Consulta from Uco Valley, aged for up to 13 months in oak barrels, unfolds with plum and cherry aromas, a violet note and an undercurrent of oak. Fairly indulgent and grippy yet velvety, it flows juicily on the palate as every old-vines Malbec from la Consulta should. This was well executed in a warm vintage.
