| Tasting notes |
| Very ripe and very primal still, delivering a largecore of velvety-textured raspberry, fig and boysenberry fruit that is liberally laced with dark toast, pastis and roasted vanilla. Should settle in nicely with modest cellaring, as the structure is dense, but polished and integrated. |
| Review |
| Prestigious magazine Wine Spectator has ranked Norton Reserva Malbec 2007 among the top 100 wines in the world in the year 2010.
Only 5 Argentine wines have been distinguished as such, our Reserva Malbec 2007 being the best-selling wine amongst them.
Our wine, which is already a classic in the US, has consolidated as the best-selling Argentine Malbec in the Premium Malbec segment.
This way, we continue “harvesting” international awards and ratings. In its latest issue, Wine Spectator awarded our Norton Reserva Malbec 2007 a score of 90 points, thus confirming its quality and elegance. It is worth pointing out that vintage 2006 was also rated 90 points by the same publication, earned a silver medal in the Argentina Wine Awards (AWA) 2009, and, again, was rated 90 points by reputable Robert Parker. On the other hand, in the AWA 2010, Norton Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 earned a Gold Medal whereas Norton Malbec 2007 was awarded a silver medal. |
| Rating |
| Full ruby. Sexy claret-like aromas of plum, currant, graphite and chocolatey oak. Sweet and easygoing, with plum and currant fruit complemented by oak. In a slightly reductive style, finishing with broad tannins and a touch of oaky bitterness. (IWC - 87 points)
