- Description
Wow! The colour of the 2019 Malbec is simply astonishing – the deepest black, overlaid with more of the deepest impenetrable black, all trimmed with the most wonderfully vibrant purple. And there’s an absolute riot going on on the nose – roses, strawberries, raspberry coulis, plum, cherry, mulberry, blackberry and cassis all clamouring for attention. And in quite a different register, it’s got some lovely forest floor aromas too. The palate has so much fruit again, threatening to burst the glass at its seams. All framed, and (sort of) held in check, by some lovely ripe, rounded tannins and backed with some subtle, well integrated oak spice.

Beef. Rump, sirloin or fillet cooked medium rare (or however you like); the wine enhances the meat and the meat softens, and brings out the best in, the wine.
Merguez sausages are rather splendid too.- Attached Files
