Twenty Four Rd Malbec 2024
$25, 13.5% alcohol, screwcap, Margaret River.
This is a fluid, juicy, soft-hearted wine with sweet berry flavours flowing freely through the palate, a light dusting of milk chocolate/cocoa-like characters, and a gentle run of dried herb notes trailing through the finish. It’s both light-ish and easy-to-like, the latter helped along by the softness of the wine’s texture. 91 points.
