I have written about the 2008 version of this wine, only giving it 3 stars and not much detail. Last night, we drank two bottles of the latest offering, and it was just beautiful. The nose was very rich with red fruits giving way to powerful blueberry on the initial palate. Very inky in color, this wine is big. Tons of fruit mix it up with great tannins that leave you with a long aftertaste. I love this style of Malbec; juicy, rich and in your face. It only works well when done correctly. At closer to $20, the Golden Reserve is a step up from regular offerings from Argentina. We enjoyed this wine at a social gathering, but I bet it would be great with a juicy steak and some grilled vegetables. This has to be one of my favorite Malbecs…. 5 stars from me- 91 points?
