Bodega Norton
Privada Mendoza Malbec
Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
I bought this one at a tasting at Zachys. It was floral, feminine and very pretty. It was in the cellar for 3, 4 years?? And drunk it a couple of weeks ago. The wine changed completely on me. It was huge, heavy and thick. None of the pretty aromatics were there instead a got a beast of a wine. I drunk it and it was good but not what I expected. Maybe it had to breath ???

Needs significant aerating, but a solid Malbec with some nice black cherry aftertaste.

Too mainstream for me. The 'barrel program' a little to notorious here.
