"The Catalpa Malbec 2013 is fresh, floral and shows just a hint of spice (only 50% of the wine is barrel-aged). The palate is also fresh and shows good acidity and very fine tannins. A refined and pleasing Malbec, easy to drink and good value for money." (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker) A racy and very elegant Argentine Malbec!
