Soljans Estate Tribute Merlot Malbec 2018, Hawkes Bay

Aromas and flavours of vanilla and toasty wood spices leading to dark plums and blackberries then suggestions of chocolate and wood smoke. Weighty with a full-bodied attack, plenty of acidity and youthful tannins that require time to soften. Fruit flavours return offering contrast and balance. Overall a well made wine needing cellar time or decanting to be enjoyed with excellent food. Best drinking from 2023 through 2030.
