“Not a hair is out of place” Marc Malouf | Wine Worth Writing About

Inky crimson in the glass with a nose of violets, dark berries and fruits, black olive, mocha, hints of dried herbs, roasted meat drippings and graphite. In the mouth it’s dry, focused and milky in texture with a core of sweet ripe blue, red and purple fruit that have been kissed with licorice and vanilla spice, driven by fresh plum-skin acidity and textured with persistent, but fine tannins. It’s somewhat playful in its youth, but has the bones, intensity and elegance to age beautifully. It glides across its arc and ends cleanly with a flourish of soft raspberry and plum. Not a hair is out of place. I’m excited to see how this evolves with years in bottle, and I’d bet it’s brilliantly!
