Lamadrid Malbec Gran Reserva Reserva
93+ points ('07), The Wine Advocate:
“The 2007 Malbec Gran Reserva was sourced from a single 82-year-old estate vineyard that spent 16 months in new French oak. It is a denser, richer, more structured version of the Reserva that will benefit from another 4-5 years of cellaring and will provide prime drinking from 2015 to 2022.”

This loaded effort displays more obvious (but well-integrated) oak, soaring aromas of black cherry, black raspberry, and exotic spices, full body, and a plush, velvety palate feel...”
