Winemaker Notes
Aroma: Powerful and very complex. Notes of red fruits such as raspberry, red currant and plum are perceived. Aromas of vanilla and caramel stem from its aging in oak barrels.
Taste: Of great structure, this wine stands out for its meatiness and intense rich flavor. Its well-established tannins give it character and a lively personality. Its greasy and round finish makes it a kind wine.
Serving suggestions: Enjoy the 2005 Reserva Malbec with red meats, both oven-cooked and barbecued, meats with sauce, game meats, etc.
Professional Ratings
Most distinguished and celebrated from Argentina’s Mendoza, Malbec has seen runaway success since the early 2000s. Mendoza’s agreeable, continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold snowy winters allows the perfect conditions for growing outstanding Malbec. This grape is easy to like for its lusty, deep flavors and aromas of blackberry, plum, red cherry, autumn spice and tilled earth. It’s easy to find delicious, fruit-driven, affordable everyday examples and in prices beyond, quite exceptional ones with dense, supple textures that make them capable of aging.
