Risky Business Malbec 2021

Margaret River Malbec continues the theme from this winery, taking us down unfamiliar roads. A well named winery, but one which continually does overcome expectations. And it has really done that here. If one thinks about it, Cabernet and the Bordeaux blend styles work so well in this region, why not a solo Malbec? In addition, the team have been known to look to other regions to supplement the fruit. The colour is a vibrant but dark maroon and the nose exhibits concentrated notes of black fruits, aniseed, soy, leather and chocolate. Dusty tannins, but it is that sweet core of chocolatey notes on the palate which really appeal. Fine but abundant tannins, excellent balance and impressive length. This is a serious Malbec and a ten year proposition for the cellar.
