Warramunda Liv Zak Malbec 2023

Yarra Valley Malbec, not so regularly encountered as a single variety wine but intriguing to see, which spent time maturing in older French oak barriques. This has a deep maroon hue, with aromas of red fruits and dried herbs. There are hints of animal skins, spices, soy, aniseed and cloves. Appealing dark chocolate characters are evident and good grip. A fine line of acidity with good focus and balance, this makes for attractive drinking now, but has an exciting future ahead. A firm, full-flavoured style. Nine or ten years ahead of it for those who are patient. A good example of a solo Malbec.
