Extremely deep intense purple colour. Extremely youthful, spicy, l very fresh ripe, plum-cherry nose with some cassis notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, well structured, fairly dense, intense, fresh, ripe, plum-cherry purée flavours with a lingering, high acid gently cedary, grippy finish. Has 14.5% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number L17218 on the back label. Great with a steak. |

TASTING NOTE: 100% Malbec. Saturated dark black-purple in colour, with arrestingly floral aromas, alluring plum, damson and sloe fruits and a grind of pink peppercorn, too: so splendid in its youthful appeal that it seems a shame to wait any longer, though the depth of the wine suggests that it would take ageing in its stride. On the palate, the wine is dark, concentrated and once again head-turningly floral and fresh, without any evident 'heat' or overripeness. Brilliant Malbec from a great site. Drink date: 2018-2023. Score - 97 (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2018) |
