| TASTING NOTE: The 2008 Gran Reserva Malbec (the Reserva and Gran Reserva designations do not carry the specificity that they do in Rioja, Spain) was sourced from 50+-year-old vines and aged for 12 months in new French and American oak. Notions of pain grille, pencil lead, lavender, Asian spices, and black cherry point to a Malbec of exceptional finesse and proportionality. Concentrated, seamless, and lengthy, it will provide pleasure for another 6-8 years. Drink: 2011-2019. Score - 90 (Jay Miller, erobertparker.com, Dec. 2011) |
