In der Ausgabe 200 von Robert Parkers renommierten Weinmagazin »

Bodega Norton. Über den ›
Privada Tinto 2009‹ aus dem Mendoza, den er mit 91/100 Punkten bewertet, schreibt er nachfolgend im Original:
„In addition to the varietal wines, Norton also produces several blends. The ›2009 Privada‹ is made up of 40 %
Malbec, 30 %
Merlot, and 30 %
Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from vines ranging in age from 50 to 80 years old, fermented with native yeasts, and raised for 16 months in new French oak. It is a complex offering with an elegant personality, layers of succulent fruit, ample structure, and 2-3 years of aging potential. This outstanding value will be at its best from 2013 to 2024.”
