90 Points, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate -- "The 2008
Malbec, which contains 10% Bonarda, spent 11 months in 50% new French
oak and 50% first use American oak. Purple-colored, it reveals an
expressive nose of wood smoke, cinnamon, incense, and black cherry.
Round, ripe, medium-bodied, and savory, this layered effort has a
lengthy, fruit-filled finish. Enjoy it over the next 5 years."Beautiful, deep purple color with perfumed aromas of ripe red fruits and
roasted coffee beans. It is lush, full-bodied and penetrating on the
palate with loads of chewy, currant jam flavors, bright acidity, and a
touch of grip on the almost savory finish. This wine really unfolds with
some air so try not to slurp it down in a rush, and it shows why the
Argentine people are in love with Malbec. Pedro blended in some Bonarda
for greater complexity and to achieve better balance. Pairs well with a
wide range of foods including beef, sausages, spiced or grilled pork,
veal, medium-strong cheeses, and meat-based pasta sauces.
