Norton '05 Malbec Reserva VS Lurton '05 Malbec Reserva

Now that the Norton Malbec Reserva '06 is just coming out in the US market, it's a good time to enjoy this showdown between two wines of the '05 vintage. While I haven't tried the '06 yet, I must say that I did not enjoy the Norton Reserva 2005 that much. The 2004 was a little gem of a wine, and absolute delight for only $11.50 at Costco a year ago. Brian Freedman does a great job in explaining many characteristics of the noble malbec grape.
Salud!
