Bremerton Special Release Malbec 2023

A good Malbec is always a joy to discover, as it is so often used as a blending component or given a small cameo role at best, but it seems to thrive in Langhorne Creek. The fruit used here was a block selection, all of which were kept separate during the winemaking process, before a final blending. The result is a wine that should attract anyone looking to see a top example of a local Malbec; anyone who loves wine which is chock-a-block full of flavour; and anyone who appreciates value. A vibrant purple/maroon hue, this really is a seriously good solo Malbec. The nose reveals notes of cassis, blackberries, black cherries, herbs and mulberries. There is still a flick of oak here but integration is proceeding extremely well. A wine of balance, focus and concentration, there is good energy and a seamless structure, finishing with excellent length. This is sure to sail through a decade, providing pleasure at all stages. Like it a lot. Cracking buying.
