2004 Angelica Zapata Cabernet Sauvignon Alta Mendoza 14.0%
Elegant nose, showing plums and blackberries with hints of coffee and violets. Peppery, slightly hot, sweet on the tip of the tongue, with a velvety mouthfeel, featherweight tannins and a lightly bitter finish. The acid is both discreet and discrete, the latter giving it a slightly artificial connotation. A classy representative of a style from which I find myself increasingly estranged.
