winemaker's notes:
"Caro the new joint-venture of Nicolas Catena and Lafites Baron de Rothschild has fashioned an outstanding debut wine the medium to dark ruby-colored 2000 Caro. This secret blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon reveals tangy red and black currant aromas intermingled with hints of grilled oak. Offering lively depth of fruit its fresh herb and blackberry-flavored personality is highly focused well-detailed and elegant. This wine is not made in the supple generous blockbuster style of the Catena wines rather is is lace-like nuanced and reveals a firm edge to its finish. Projected maturity: 2005-2014."
