Majella Coonawarra The Malleea 2018

Always good to see wines with time in the cellar under their belt, especially when they come from such a stellar vintage for the region. Pricing is more than reasonable as well. A Cabernet Shiraz blend. Still quite youthful, there are notes of chocolate, dried earth, licorice, warm earth, plums, cloves and blackberries. There is good concentration, freshness, intensity and impressive length, with juicy acidity and satiny tannins. Will drink beautifully for the next twelve to fifteen years at least. Like this a lot.
