"The purple-colored 2007 Malbec contains 10% Cabernet Sauvignon while receiving the same elevage as the 2006 Cabernet. It reveals an enticing perfume of coffee/mocha, baking spices, violets, black cherry, and black raspberry. Smooth-textured, layered, and ripe, it has loads of succulent fruit, enough structure to evolve for 1-2 years, and a lingering, fruit-filled finish. Drink it over the next 6-8 years." 91 points - Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Issue 180 |
