The 2008 Diamandes de Uco Gran Reserva is a blend of 85% Malbec and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in French oak for 20 months. A glass-coating opaque purple/black color, it offers up an impressive nose of mineral, earth notes, licorice, soy, espresso, black cherry, and black currant. Medium-bodied on the palate and surprisingly elegant, it reveals layered, spicy black fruit flavors, excellent concentration and volume, and enough structure to support several more years of cellaring. This lengthy offering will deliver peak drinking from 2013 to 2023. 92+ -Jay Miller

Saturated bright ruby. Superripe aromas and flavors of cassis, blackberry, minerals and bitter chocolate lifted by a pure violet topnote. Dense, suave and vibrant, with terrific clarity thanks to its strong mineral underpinning. Firmly tannic but not dry. Shows sneaky palate-staining length, with dark berry, minerals and bitter chocolate notes leaving behind a captivating perfume. Even more impressive than the superb 2007, this beauty should age gracefully.
