Norton Lote Negro 2022

The Bodega Norton Lote Negro 2022 is a sophisticated red blend that serves as the "maximum expression" of Argentina’s Uco Valley. This "Unique Edition" wine combines the intense fruit characteristics of Malbec with the structural elegance and herbal nuances of Cabernet Franc. The 2022 vintage is noted for its deep ruby-red colour and a complex aromatic profile featuring minty blackberries, blueberries, and dark chocolate, accented by a touch of roasted red pepper. On the palate, it is full-bodied and bold, with "masses of dusty tannins" that provide a chewy, persistent texture and a long, savoury finish. 

93 Points - James Suckling

Attractive minty blackberries and blueberries with dark chocolate and a touch of roasted red pepper. Pretty full-bodied on the palate, with masses of dusty tannins forming a nicely chewy texture. Long and flavorful. 60% malbec and 40% cabernet franc. Drink or hold.
