2005 Luca Beso de Dante Notable Press Summary
2005 Luca Beso de Dante
91 Points
Wine & Spirits, June 2008
“Opulent and expansive, this generous blend of cabernet sauvignon and malbec has the body and the charisma of a Botero sculpture. Its round texture is filled with ripe red fruit and spice floating on dense, soft tannins.”
2005 Luca Beso de Dante
91 Points
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, February 2008
“Bright, full ruby. Sexy, smoky aromas of currant, licorice, pepper, tobacco leaf and sweet herbs; showing its cabernet side today. Then suave, ripe, pliant and round, with classically dry flavors of currant, spice and pepper. Finishes with sweet tannins and lovely persistence. Here the cabernet dominates the wine’s aromas and flavors, while the malbec gives a mouthfilling texture. A very successful blend.”

Robert Parker Jr's "The Wine Advocate", December 2007
"The 2005 Beso de Dante is named in honor of Laura Catena's son. It is composed of 80% Cabernet Sauvingnon and 20% Malbec aged in 30% new French oak. Purple-colored, it has an expressive perfume of pain grillé, cassis, mineral, and black currant."

90 Points
Wine Spectator, November 2007
"Powerful in style, but approachable with fig paste, blueberry, coffee and mocha notes allied to a muscular frame. Dark and juicy to the finish, with the fruit showing nice depth."
2003 Beso de Dante
92 Points
Wine Spectator, November 2006
"Great blend of purity and power, with blueberry and raspberry fruit woven together with hints of dark toast, chocolate-covered espresso bean and grilled beef. Shows iron, tobacco and pepper notes on the finish, along with another wave of fruit."
