Wine would be better if it was decanted for at least 30 minutes. Otherwise quite typical harsh Argentinian Malbec. OK with some strong cheese or grilled food.

Until this moment, my favourite Norton was Jeff. This is a game changer. A fantastic Malbec. Light and very dry. Slightly sweet on the aftertaste. It’s plummy. I got sugar plumbs dancing in my head. Merry Christmas!

Note: Jeff’s still my second favourite Norton.
