Tasting Notes: Big, bold and boisterous, though, perhaps not with a lot to say, yet. In its youth this Osoyoos East Bench Malbec satisfies the red wine lover's quench for robustness and intensity with a charred nose of blackened berries, toasted oak, tar, black cherry, molasses and kerosene tea which is followed by an equally intense and dense palate with similar flavours, added spice and a tart finish of black fruit puree and tannins.
There's lots to like, but no additional depth or refined, elegant elements, yet. With more time in the bottle, the depth should come and the raw intensity should mellow nicely. Drink 2024-2026.
