The Marlborough Malbec Estate Wine 2020, Marlborough
A powerful fruit centric bouquet with aromas of boysenberries and blackberry pie, dark chocolate and plum preserve. A natural mineral aromas suggest greywacke stones and there’s a leesy quality bringing depth and complexity. No oak. On the palate - a core of fruit and lees complexity flavours that mirror the nose. Distinctive mouthfeel and fruit concentration. Balanced, even and quite lengthy finish. Soft easy tannins and decent level of acidity add texture and length. Well and ready to enjoy on its own or with food. Best drinking upon purchase and through 2025.
