Bodega Norton Malbec Reserva 2017 (750ML)

90 Points, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous: "Saturated ruby. Dark, lifted aromas of blackberry, violet and licorice. Juicy, fine-grained and firmly built, conveying a drier impression than the Malbec DOC owing to its penetrating quality and lively acidity. This is also higher in alcohol (14.5%, vs. 14%) and more chocolatey in its ripeness, youthful today but less clenched than the Malbec DOC. A step up in intensity and backbone, this Malbec finishes with refined tannins and good grip and should evolve gracefully." 06/19
