2019 Jeanneret Malbec

2019 Jeanneret Malbec

Almost black with a bright crimson rim. Wonderfully generous nose of blackberry, blueberry, mulberry, cassis and raspberry with gentle spicy notes complimenting the medley of fruits. The palate is textured, mouth-watering and opulent with lovely firmness and grip from the Cabernet and a big fleshy middle thanks to that fantastic dark, savoury Malbec. It’s very, very approachable now and will gain character and complexity over the next 5 years or so.
