The 2005 Malbec Orzada is dark ruby-colored with toasty barrel notes and aromas of black cherry and blackberry. Made in a restrained, elegant style, the wine is balanced and has enough structure to evolve for 1-2 years. It can be enjoyed over the next six years. Odjfell produces a value-priced line called Armador but these failed to merit recommendations. However, the pricier Orzada lineup was at another level. Odfjell’s two blended wines are both outstanding.Importer: Select Fine Wines, Manhasset, NY

One of Chile’s best Malbecs. This vintage is very rich and compact, with blackberry, marzipan and cola aromas. The palate is firm and sturdy, but more like a bench than a plush chair. Superripe and a little clumsy, with really intense cassis and cherry flavors. Fruity almost to the point of being over the top.——M.S.(9/1/2008)—— 88
