  (Bodega Norton Malbec Reserva, Mendoza) Thirty-year-old vines give depth to this bright, juicy, medium-bodied wine. Notes of dark cherry, plum, fig, raisin, black and Orange Pekoe tea leaf, mint, and vanilla are well integrated with oak tannins and bright acidity. The finish is long, fruity, and mouthwatering.

  (Bodegas Norton Reserve Malbec) #2; COLOR-dark; NOSE-lots of black currant; hints of cedar box and shaved high end dark chocolate on the back-end; classic Malbec nose; TASTE-tannin and dry; black currant; some woodiness; a little sour blueberry play; starts w/ a lot of flavor, but dips on the mid-palate and then the bitter tannins on the back-end (should last 3-5 years); a nice wine, but a little overrated by Spectator; WS-90; GV-86/87
