Bodega Norton 2005 Malbec

A very heavy style of Malbec, this bottle was smoky with dark berries. It had a full and silky mouth-feel and was very rich. At the risk of using inappropriate adjectives, I would call it "masculine".

Nose had a fresh orange smell, which devepoled in the flavor as the wine breathed.

Wonderful cocoa/chocolate nose on opening bottle which mellowed to a nice even plum and tannin bouquet. This is definitely one of those bottles that you open with friends thinking "it should be OK" and end up looking back at the label to see just what it was the you opened up because it exceeded expectations. Great dark fruit/currant undertones and smooth, tannic and dark cherry finish.

Rather fruit forward, with lots of red fruit but with some cocoa notes too. Nice acidity and, surprisingly, not overly tannic. My mother, a merlot drinker, absolutely loved it and plans to add this to her regular rotation.
