  One of my wines of the vintage in 2015, this is the best release yet from this joint venture between Domains Baron de Rothschild (Lafite) and the Catena family, launched in 2000. Combining Malbec with 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, mostly from Paraje Altamira in the Uco Valley, but with some support from Las Compuertas in Luján de Cuyo, it's a stunningly complex wine, which marries the richness of Argentinian flavours with the finesse and nuance of a top Left Bank Bordeaux. The fruit is bright and luminous, the oak scented and well integrated, the tannins silky and caressing. What a red! 2020-30.

  The smoke and currant character of this wine is impressive. Some blackberries and fresh herbs, too. Oak showing now. Full-bodied, tight and linear with juicy tannins. Needs three or four year to polish the finish. More malbec (85%) in the blend than usual, and the rest cabernet sauvignon. Drink in 2020.

This unbeatable collaboration marries the old world expertise of Lafite's Domaine Barons de Rothschild with the new world innovation of highly-acclaimed Argentinian producer Catena Zapata. The resulting wine is a 50/50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec that is the best of both worlds, and as always, available at an unbeatable price. Always in high-demand, this is a wine that sells out fast so don't delay in snapping up as much as possible.
