A monumental and deeply harmonious collaboration between the Catena and Rothschild families, the 2021 Caro represents the pinnacle of high-altitude viticulture in Mendoza. This vintage displays an intense, dark ruby color with garnet highlights and opens with a complex and refined bouquet of ripe raspberries, blackcurrants, and blueberry compote, interwoven with sophisticated notes of graphite, licorice, and candied violets. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and impeccably balanced, showcasing the plushness of Malbec supported by the noble structure and backbone of Cabernet Sauvignon. Fine-grained, super-ripe tannins and a refreshing acidity lead to an extraordinarily long, elegant finish marked by lingering notes of black fruit, spice cake, and toasted oak.
95 Points - James Suckling
Deep, fresh and really contained with exceptional depth. Graphite, mussel, hot stones, black chocolate, violets, dried herbs and tons of fresh, ripe blackberries and mulberries. Fleshy and round on the palate, showing polished, juicy tannins that give it more tension, firmness and focus at the end. Long but more pristine. More foudre this year. Drinkable now, but better in two years when it gets more expressive and complex.
