2003 Bodegas Norton Malbec

[Innkeeper]

For around $20 you can get a decent Cahors. You ought to pick one up and run a neck to neck comparison. You can also do the same thing with a Madrian from France and a Tannat from Uruguay. In the latter case the South Americans have a way to go to catch up with the French, but the Argentines have bypassed them at the lower end with Malbec and have at least drawn close or even ahead at the upper end.
