What are the aging requirements for Malbec Reserva wines?

Malbec Reserva wines are usually barrel aged for at least 12 months and are aged further bottle before they are made available to the customers. Such prolonged aging process enables the wine to acquire higher complexity, structure and flavor integration, which leads to more polished and sleek manifestation of Malbec. Reserva wines mostly display more depth of color, softer tannins and lifted aromas than their non-reserva versions, which makes them perfect for special occasions or cellar aging.
