Bodega Norton Malbec Barrel Select 2018

Deeply red with violet hues. Aromas of ripe red fruits, cassis and pepper. Sweet on the palate, friendly tannins with spicy flavors. Norton's Britto Series art label wine is regular stuff. Aromas of olive and rubber mean it's not exactly clean and fruity to start. A rubbery chunky body lacks a focal point, while this tastes of briny olive and barely ripe berry fruits prior to a savory finish.

Clear medium ruby colour; aromas of ripe plum and blackcurrant, along with hints of anise and spicy vanilla; dry with full body, balanced acidity and firm structure; ripe black fruit is enhanced by notes of vanilla and black pepper, and the flavours linger on a medium length finish.
