Norton Privada 2003
Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaNot all malbec is 100 per cent varietal. Privada is made as a Bordeaux blend Argentine style mixing 40/30/30 malbec, cabernet sauvignon and merlot. The origins of this bottling were small amounts that never left the property; today small quantities have been exported. It's quite big red, at least in its youth, with a smoky tarry liquorice nose. The palate is smooth and round with subdued black fruit, red plum flavours and earthy, liquorice notes. It has both density and style and is very food friendly.Tasted: 11 April 2008Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $25.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
