McHenry Hohnen  2020 BDX Malbec-Cabernet-Petit Verdot

Malbec Blend (Margaret River)

Youthful and open, the nose smells of cassis, baking spice and toast. The attack is broad across the palate, with noticeable alcohol, a sturdy body and concentrated, layered fruit. Licorice, graphite, turned earth, a touch of funk and blackberries infuse the palate. The highly-extracted, slightly bristly tannins give it a taut feel, but the marked acidity creates a mouthwatering sensation to ease the structure on the lingering finish. This needs some time. Drink now–2028.
