TASTING NOTE: The 2009 Reserva Malbec has a clean, pure bouquet of black currant, blueberry, iodine and violet that unfurl nicely with aeration, the oak well-integrated into the fruit profile. The palate is medium-bodied and succulent in texture. It offers a swath of rounded blackberry and strawberry flavors, intermingled with cedar and tobacco, while the finish is well-balanced and slips down the throat with ease. Very fine. Drink now-2018.
