| RESERVE MALBEC 2008 Uco Valley, Mendoza |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
ZOLO |
| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Fairly intense, cedary, baked plum-cherry nose with some dark chocolate notes. Dry, spicy, medium-full bodied, quite well structured, cedary, cooked plum and black cherry puree flavours with a lingering, tangy, somewhat leathery, mocha-chocolate finish. This repeat (a recent bottling) is quite similar to the 2008 (**) released on February 2, 2013 at $16.95. |

| TASTING NOTE: The 2008 Malbec Reserva spent 14 months in a mix of new and used French and American oak. It displays an expressive bouquet of wood smoke, spice box, lavender, underbrush, black cherry, and black raspberry. Dense, firm, and savory on the palate, it conceals enough fine-grained tannin to evolve for 1-2 years, although there is no compelling reason to delay gratification. This excellent value will be at its best from 2012 to 2018. Score - 88 (Jay Miller, erobertparker.com, Dec. 2011) |
