Alkoomi Malbec 2023

Frankland River is proving an excellent location for a range of unexpected varieties and good, solo Malbec is a fine example of that. Dark purple in colour, the nose gives us notes of plums, blackberries, licorice, chocolate, cassis, blackcurrants and mulberries, with hints of beef stock, leather, fruitcake and graphite. A wine of medium length with finely crafted tannins, this is attractive drinking now and will remain so for at least the next decade.
