Wendouree Malbec 2018

Very floral with aromas of roses and violets, as well as some crushed stones, raspberries, mulberries and darker plums. Some licorice, too. Profound, dark-stony depth to the nose here with some wet slate and graphite. The palate has a succulent, juicy and rich, glossy feel. The tannins are emulsified, smooth and polished. Pliable and responsive, they expand and wrap at the finish. Long, red and dark plums throughout. Flavors of fresh dark-plum pit hold long. From 1898 Central Vineyard and 1920 Eastern Vineyard plantings. James Suckling
