Norton Malbec Reserva 1997
Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaBuilt for ageing. Much more Bordeaux like in structure with good tannin maturation and fine extraction. Aged on 100 percent new French oak for 12 months. Norton hasn't experimented much with oak but this proves they should. Good acid, sweet fruit, soft tannins and a long licorice root finish. Wonderful bottle.Tasted: 01 March 2000Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $0.00 | 750ml |
