Clandestine Vineyards Malbec 2019

From a vineyard in the Karridale region of Margaret River, planted in 1996, 2^nd and 3^rd use French oak barriques were used for malolactic ferments and 15 months maturation with 3,600 bottles to go around.

Deep purple and it shows very youthful aromatics; florals, roses, cherries and mulberries. Good structure on the palate and some plushness with significant length and good acidity. It is very much upfront flavours here and if there is any query, the length is not as persistent as some of the other wines from Clandestine Vineyards, though the flavours are very appealing. It will get even better in 2 to 4 years.
