ARTIST WINES! - Uncorking musician-priced cellar secrets
Norton Barrel Select, Malbec, Argentina 2012
Price: $14.99 SBH Rating: βͺ πΊ πΆβοΈ
This wine inspires one to seek out better wine. And, strangely, confit. It's not undrinkable, but rather holds such potential that you remember why you enjoy malbec so much. Personally, I wish it gave more away. The flavour is reticent, but underneath its sourness one can detect pickled currants, chicory, and chrysanthemum. Such a tight-lipped wine! I should really travel with a decanter.
Drink with: Thelonious Monk, "Ugly Beauty" from Underground
